LETTERS....GOOD AND BAD.

2nd Corinthians chapter 7 beginning with verse 8. The Apostle Paul wrote Spoke of two letters. One was good one was bad. If my letter made you uncomfortable I'm not sorry. But since my letter did make you uncomfortable for a while... I was sorry but I'm happy now not because I made you uncomfortable but because the distress I caused you has led you to change the way you think and act. You were distressed in a Godly way so we haven't done you any harm. In fact to be distressed in a Godly way causes people to change the way they think and act and leads them to be saved. No one can regret that. But the distress that the world causes brings only death. That was verses 8 9 and 10. You see,more of a reason not to give up on people.Not to capitulate! In today's world all social media, thousands of people claiming to be atheist, make statements like like Christians should not judge... When they are not judging they are just sharing the gospel sharing the word of God and it makes unbelievers very uncomfortable. Sometimes in the Christian Realm the true gospel makes church-goers uncomfortable. People out of the world who once were believers who have now turned back into the world... it makes them very uncomfortable. The Apostle Paul makes it clear that we should not be sorry if we make them uncomfortable because it may very well lead to their salvation. He also explains the difference in the world and it's distress,which causes death. A prayer... I want to do my brothers and sisters no harm. But I can't stay away from causing them Godly distress. A pain that causes them to change how they think and act. In the end it saves them. Amen and thanks for reading my blogs.
