2 Corinthians 12 - 13

2 CorinthiansSteve Gregg
In his discussion of 2 Corinthians 12-13, Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between true and false teachers and their claims. He argues that testing the legitimacy of apostles, prophets, and other teachers is crucial to discern whether their message is from God or the enemy. Gregg shows how Paul defends his own ministry and discusses his personal visions and revelations. He also reflects on the nature of suffering, the possibility of falling away from faith, and the need for edification rather than destruction in the Christian community.
