2 Corinthians 10. Day 177 - The New Testament in a Year

The Nature of Spiritual Warfare.  Paul’s Defense of His Authority.  Worldly and Godly Standards. 

"For although we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh, since the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but are powerful through God for the demolition of strongholds". 2 Corinthians 10:3-4

How do you fight spiritual battles? In 2 Corinthians Chapter 10, we’re reminded that, as believers, our weapons are not of this world but mighty through God for demolishing strongholds. Paul’s defense of his authority reveals a critical truth: spiritual authority is given by God for the purpose of building up the church, not for self-promotion.

We often find ourselves caught between worldly standards and God’s standards. This chapter challenges us to focus on what God has done through us, to take every thought captive, and to boast only in the Lord. As we reflect on these truths, we’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to walk in humility and spiritual strength, relying on God’s power rather than our own.
