A) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is exemplified through Paul's powerful message to the church at Corinth. Paul ensures that the Corinthians understand the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for the sake of others, despite His place of glory and wealth, by giving up everything, even His own life, for everyone.
B) In this passage, we encounter a rare occurrence in Scripture where Paul shares his personal opinion. While it may not be a mandate, his observation holds value, shedding light on the Corinthians' passionate and sacrificial giving. He reminds them of their initial fervor when they first embraced salvation, eager to advance the kingdom of God and honor Jesus Christ.
C) Like a dedicated fitness coach, Paul praises their past efforts and encourages them to finish what they started. He urges them not to falter in the middle but to persevere until the end. It's like being in a race, feeling exhausted halfway through, and hearing a whisper in your heart and mind, "Keep going, never quit."
