1034 2 Cor.4.1-6 Paul’s Authority - An Apostle of the New Covenant Pt.3

Paul defends his ministry against critics in Corinth who questioned his sincerity and methods. Facing opposition and accusations of deceit, Paul reaffirms that his ministry is a result of God’s mercy, not personal ambition. He contrasts his transparent proclamation of the gospel with the blindness caused by the "god of this world" (Satan), which keeps some from seeing Christ’s glory. Paul's focus is on preaching Christ, not himself, as he serves to reflect God's light in a spiritually dark world.
