No Offence, But... (2 Corinthians 6:3-10 )

Many Christians have been taught that if they offend someone, they are committing sin. And certainly, we ought not to offend by simply being hateful (in the real sense of the word).

But we will see that the admonition that we not offend, is set in the context of not falling short in our walk with Christ, thus offending observers as we shame the Name of Jesus with our lack of faith and commitment.

Jesus offended. Paul offended. But NEITHER offended by setting a bad example and failing in faith and service.

We urge all believers to listen intently and gain the Biblical perspective. The Gospel WILL offend and we ought to be willing to offend with the Gospel and to be disliked because of it.
