A message about swagger! No, it doesn't come from your yo-yo skills, or from the size of your paycheck, or even from your deodorant. Ok. Here's what that guy Paul, who actually wrote 2 Corinthians as a letter to some friends, here's what he had to say.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 (New Living Translation)
4 We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ. 5 It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. 6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.
Confidence is like fruitcake: You have it because someone gave it to you, not because of your effort to get it. More from the second letter to Corinthians chapter 3 tomorrow.
