What is the second major point Paul keeps emphasizing in 2 Corinthians?
The second major point Paul keeps emphasizing is that believers are not under Law but under Grace. Alongside his defense of apostolic authority, this truth is preeminent in his writings, and he stresses it constantly to the Corinthians and in the letters that follow.
Les explains that in 2 Corinthians Paul is making two basic points. The first is that Paul had to defend his apostleship and show he had apostolic authority even though he did not walk with Christ up and down the roads of Palestine. The second thing constantly on his mind is that we are not under Law, we are under Grace. These things are preeminent in his writings, not only to the Corinthians, but as he goes on through the other letters.
