2 Corinthians 6:1-18
Paul urged us not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says, "In the tie of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Paul they put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way...
Having nothing and yet possessing everything. Paul's feelings are deeply and stirred. He longs for the Corinthians to match his own complete open-heartedness towards them.
Paul said to Corinth as a fair exchange- I speak as to my children-open wide your hearts also.
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. There is not in common, not harmony between believer and unbeliever.What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God.
God said:" I will live with the and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." "Therefore come out from them and be separate." says the Lord.
This issue is the same as in 1 Corinthians 8-10. It is clearly his earlier letter had not resolved some of these issues
Why?
The change of tone at 6:14 is abrupt but there is no evidence that this section has been misplaced. He has warned them before of the dangers of compromise with the pagan world.
Come to Jesus and listen to his words now is right time. When the Day is come the door of salvation will be closed.
Sincerely to the Lord and among church's believers.
We are the temple of the living God, so we have to separate from them. We do something and don't do something. Let God's grace and rightness shown on us.
How?
Remember who I am, I am the temple of living God. Holding the right thing and keep away the evil.
And put no stumbling block in anyone's path to Jesus, repent and check my behavior carefully everyday.
