LOVE FINDS A WAY
II Corinthians 7:2-16
9/8/85 Dr. Vines
It may come as a surprise to some people that there are times when
Christians have inter-personal problems with one another. If you have been a
Christian for any period of time, you of course, know that this is not
surprising at all. Sometimes even those who know the Lord, those who have
been saved, those who are the children of God have problems and difficulties

To live below with saints we know,
Well, that's another story.
That's exactly what Paul is going through with here and we have to learn how
to- sepal with these problems. We learn how as we read these words from the
apostle Paul. In order to get the background of the substance of what Paul is
saying in these verses, we need to understand what the circumstances were.
Paul, you remember, had written a letter to the believers in Corinth because
there was a problem of open sin in their midst. There was a member who was
living in open sin. The thing that was such a concern to Paul was that the
believers in Corinth were really looking over that problem and were refusing

to openly and lovingly and biblically face that problem. Paul had written in
his first letter and had talked to them about it. He had said there was a ...
