Our Sufficiency Is of God

In 2 Corinthians 3:1-6; 4:5-11, the apostle Paul deflects praise away from himself to give all glory to God. Dr. Gerald Bilkes reminds us to look to the Lord with expectation, to look at what really matters, to look away from man, and to look upward to the Lord. “Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.”
