2 Corinthians 1:1, An Apostle of Jesus Christ by the Will of God

2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

The Apostle Paul was a man who lived out the will of God for his life. What a blessed life to be living in the center of God’s will, doing His bidding. God sent a young man Timothy to be his companion and fellow soldier in the Lord’s army. He derived no small comfort from his fellowship with Timothy. It was during his 2nd missionary journey that Timothy was commissioned to follow him in the gospel work.

He was not writing out of his own wisdom and volition but was constrained by the love of God, the prompting of the Holy Spirit to communicate with the church that he has established so that this church of God may receive God’s guidance and blessing.

Thank God moving holy men to write the Word of God for our spiritual strengthening. May God’s people take time to study His Word. Amen.
