2 Corinthians 13

V. 7-9, We want you fully restored

In verses 7 through 9 Paul makes it perfectly clear that he has no ulterior motive for this letter that he has written to the church. It is not so that he looks good or even that he will get credit for the great church in Corinth, it is all done because he wants to see them restored to God. Restoration is the heart of Paul in every situation and circumstance, he wanted to see people connected to God no matter what it cost himself. The heart of Paul is the heart of God as well, 2 Peter 3:9 says that God wills that none should perish but that all come to repentance.
God doesn’t want any of us to be separated from him despite our rebellious and sinful behavior that caused the separation. Romans 5:8 says that while we were yet sinners God showed His love toward us by sending His Son, Jesus, to die for the sins of this world. God loved us so much that He made a way for His creation to reunite in fellowship with Him, but it meant the death of His only Son to make it happen. Restoration to God should be the goal of every Christian for their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances. We should want what God wants that every man, woman and child comes into a loving and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ that guarantees them eternity in the presence of their Lord and Creator.
