2 Corinthians 7:14-16; Confidence in You
2 Corinthians 7:14-16 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
There was a warm reception of Titus at his coming to the church in Corinth. The letter that he carried from the Apostle Paul was well received. The confidence that the Apostle Paul had of their faith in God was not overstated. The fear of God, the reverence for God’s servant was evident to Titus. He confirmed the Apostle Paul’s assessment of their growing faith. There were fruits of repentance shown in their reception of Titus.
I am reminded of the testimony of Zacchaeus after he was saved.
