II II What Veils The Gospel? 1. The gospel itself, 1 Co.1:18, 23 Paul contrasts word of the cross w. the wisdom of words – Worldly wisdom, philosophies of men, especially of Greeks and Jews Worldly men – foolishness Illustrates Lk.10:21

2. Unloving example of believers, 1 Co.8:…10-11 A single act... “What you are doing rings so loudly in my ears that I cannot hear what you say”

3. Confusion over covenants, 2 Co.3:16-18 Judaizers: Christ AND the law. Dt.5 “But the letter kills…” Words of NT are letter? 3:5-6! Contrast is not between outward and inward sense of Scripture, but outward and inward power of old and new dispensations: NT = spirit; OT = letter “God gave OT as well as NT”

4. Discouragement, 4:1 Lose heart (faint-hearted coward); give in or give out Ga.6:9 Law of sowing and reaping is more important under gospel than in farming
