Don’t Give Up

As we look at Paul’s relationship with the Corinthian church, we see a heart that refuses to give up on God’s people despite their sins, conflict, and criticism. Paul’s strength did not come from his abilities or ministry success, but from one singular conviction. To know nothing except Christ crucified. He calls the church, then and now, to examine ourselves and ask if Jesus Christ is truly in us. It is only when our hearts are surrendered to Him can we live by the power of God and persevere in love without giving up on others.
