Commentaries
Commentaries is a podcast hosted by Hunter Hoover where he observes the Bible paragraph by paragraph. By slowly walking though the books of the Bible we are able to observe the wonderful intricacies of God’s Word.
Paul formally begins his addressing the claims by the "super-apostles" by noting the authority they claimed, which ultimately allowed them to bring the gospel to Corinth. He says, their boldness is not to frighten the believers, despite what the "super-apostles" claimed of Paul.
Paul was accused of only being bold with the Corinthians in his writing and not in person. He gives his defense as to why in what is the beginning of his address of these "super apostles".
Paul closes out his comments about giving by noting that we can only reap insomuch as we sow. In doing so, he reflects on the gifts God has given us, the fullest expression in his grace, which Paul calls the "indescribable gift".
Why does God love a cheerful giver? Turns out, it has a lot to do with the faith of the giver in God to use what they give.

“The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord (Jeremiah 31:31-32 NLT).
Restore us, O Lord, and bring us back to you again! Give us back the joys we once had! Or have you utterly rejected us? Are you angry with us still? (Lamentations 5:21-22 NLT).
“Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign Lord. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live. However, if righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and start doing sinful things and act like other sinners, should they be allowed to live? No, of course not! All their righteous acts will be forgotten, and they will die for their sins." (Ezekiel 18:23-24 NLT).
During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever. (Daniel 2:44 NLT).
