In these chapters, Paul opens his heart about the joy he felt when the Corinthian church responded with genuine repentance. He distinguishes between godly grief, which leads to life and restoration, and worldly grief, which brings only regret. Paul then turns to the theme of generosity, holding up the Macedonian churches as an example of joyful, sacrificial giving. He reminds the Corinthians that God loves a cheerful giver and that generosity reflects the grace of Christ, who became poor so that we might become rich in Him.Questions:1. Paul says godly grief produces repentance that leads to salvation without regret. How can you tell the difference between conviction from the Spirit and the kind of guilt that just beats you down?2. The Macedonians gave generously despite their “deep poverty.” What does their example challenge in our assumptions about what it means to be generous?3. Paul teaches that God is able to make every grace overflow so that we can abound in good works. Where have you seen God provide what you needed in order to serve or give?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
