In 2 Corinthians 8:16-9:5 we see three practical ways the Gospel shapes us. Building on the opportunity for the Corinthian church to follow the example of Macedonian generosity, Paul speaks in this text about the practicalities of collecting a donation for the church in Jerusalem. In so doing, he shows us how the Gospel naturally expands our hearts, compels us to be people of integrity, and inspires us to finish what we have started.
