‘Apostle Paul And The Corinthian Church.’
2 Corinthians 7:16.
In this Scripture we read a very lovely testimony of both Apostle Paul and of the Corinthian Church.
a) Apostle Paul was:-
1- Rejoicing.
2- Happy.
3- Glad.
b) Apostle Paul was free to express himself – “I can have”.
c) Apostle Paul’s blessed state. In the Corinthian Church he could have:-
1- Complete confidence.
2- Perfect confidence.
3- Good courage.

‘Being Made Clean.’
a) Leviticus 14:9. To be cleansed completely from suspicion of leprosy:-
1- Shave off all facial hair.
2- Wash clothes.
3- Bathe all over with water.
b) Leviticus 19:28. Protect your skin, do not mutilate it.
c) Leviticus 19:29. Protect your children from becoming immoral.
d) Leviticus 19:30. Reverence for the House of God.
(This Second one teaches me the importance of cleansing and being clean in the Old Testament this was both for spiritual and health reasons. We should also be clean in this New Testament dispensation. Clean bodies, clean hearts and clean lives for God’s Glory – all because of Jesus Christ)

Apostle Paul was so blessed by the Corinthian Church. The Corinthian Church had so many problems but they also received so much Grace. The lives of the Corinthian Church members were being changed because they were responding to the Truth and Grace of God. This is such a good lesson for us. Let us always respond to the Truth and Grace of God.
