The Apostle Paul’s message was not one of persuasive words but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power! We have been reconciled to God through Christ Jesus and have become a new creation if we put our faith in Him. This is accomplished through the Spirit’s great power as our actions and words should demonstrate based on our fruit. We have also been given the ‘ministry of reconciliation’ in which God makes His appeal through us. Like Paul, we do not do this with persuasive words but instead with the demonstration of the Spirit’s power!
