What a Great Promise!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
April 13, 2024: SOAP #5245: 1Samuel 14; 1Chronicles 4; 2Corinthians 13

SCRIPTURE:  2Corinthians (NIV) 13:11 Finally, brothers, good-bye. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

OBSERVATION: As Paul signs off this letter to the church at Corinth, He gives four short exhortations and a promise.  He exhorts us to (1) live the best we can, (2) pay attention to Paul’s directives, (3) mutually respect one another, and (4) not allow conflict to come between us.  Then there is the promise; and what a great promise it is:  And the God of love and peace be with you!

APPLICATION:  The God, who gave us the greatest expression of true love the world has ever seen, is with me!  (John 3:16)  He loves me and He loves through me. 

The God, who establishes peace in the midst of turmoil, is with me!  He is the wall-breaking peace maker!  (Ephesians 2:14)  

PRAYER:  Lord, thank you for your presence in my life.  Thank you for expressing your love and peace in and through me.   Amen
