(NLOL) – A True Father Loves
“I hope you will put up with me in a little foolishness. Yes, please put up with me! 2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ…”
Key Points:
- As a Spiritual father, Paul was jealous for the Corinthian church, not in a selfish way but that he wanted what was best for them
- Paul talks of the Corinth church needing to be like a pure bride for christ
- Paul was generous, like a father to his children
- He provided for the needs
- He sacrificed for the church
- He did not charge unlike the “super apostles before him”
