Sermon Video: What do you have that you did not receive? - 1 Corinthians 4:6-13
What is the source of human pride if not ignorance? All pride is built upon a false premise, that we have earned what we have. In reality, what we have, we have received from God. This is a truth that ought to be apparent in the way that the people of God live, for would know the kindness of God better than those saved by grace?
In an effort to bring the people of the church of Corinth to their senses, Paul utilizes biting sarcasm to compare their feeling of self-assurance to his own experience of the harsh reality of being persecuted for the sake of the Gospel.
