Pastor Park Young-sun, Elder of Nampo Church A message of comfort for this era Pastor Park Young-sun's lecture on the second book of Green Doctrine Title: 💪 The secret of unwavering faith even in misunderstanding and criticism 💪 [2 Corinthians 1:12-24] 12 For our boasting is that in the world, and especially toward you, we have walked in holiness and godly sincerity, not with worldly wisdom but by the grace of God, as our conscience bears witness. 13 For we write nothing beyond what you read and understand, which I hope you will fully understand: 14 Even though you have known us in part, so that you may boast about us and we about you in the day of our Lord Jesus. 15 And having this confidence, I came to you before, so that you might have a second chance at favor. 16 I planned to pass by you into Macedonia, and then from Macedonia to come to you and have your help on my way to Judea. 17 Was it rash in planning this? Or should I plan according to the flesh, saying, "Yes, yes," and "No, no?" 18 God is faithful, and our word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in him it is Yes. 20 For all the promises of God find their Yes in him, and through him our Amen to the glory of God. 21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anoints us is God, 22 who has also sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 23 I call God to testify on my life that it was to spare you that I did not come to Corinth again— 24 not that we lord it over your faith, but to help you with your joy, for in faith you stand firm. Explanation: Through 2 Corinthians 1:12-24, we share the reasons why we can endure even in the midst of misunderstanding and criticism. Sometimes people misunderstand us and criticize us without reason. But even at this time, God makes our faith grow. The conscience of those who act by the grace of God is testified by God. The message that Paul delivered to the church in Corinth was “Yes” in Jesus Christ, not “No.” God’s promise is always fulfilled as **“Yes”**. Therefore, we can stand firm with God’s seal and the assurance of the Holy Spirit without being swayed by criticism and misunderstanding. Key Message 1️⃣ Misunderstanding and criticism are also God’s tools for growth: When we are misunderstood and criticized, we must realize that it is a process of growing faith and trust in God’s will. 2️⃣ God’s seal and the assurance of the Holy Spirit: Since God has given us the Holy Spirit and guaranteed that we are His children, we must trust God’s promise more than the criticism of men. 3️⃣ God’s promise is only “Yes”: We must believe that God answers with “Yes” in Jesus Christ and that His promise is unchangingly fulfilled. Even in the midst of criticism and misunderstanding, God answers with **“Yes”**. 4️⃣ We are those who stand firm in faith: Those who stand firm in faith are those who do not waver. We must focus on God’s evaluation, not people’s evaluation, and move forward believing in God’s will to help us find joy.
