Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Vi har stor tillit til hva Gud vil gjøre gjennom oss på grunn av Jesus. Vi er ikke dyktige i oss selv, men Gud gjør oss dyktige og hjelper oss til å tenke rett. Det er jo Han som gjør oss i stand til å være Hans tjenere for å fortelle verden at vi lever i en ny tid. I vår tid gjelder det ikke å følge bud og regler for å oppnå kontakt med Gud. Nei, slike regler fører heller folk bort fra Gud. Ved å overgi livet vårt til Gud og ta imot Hans Ånd, blir vi fylt av nytt liv.
What Does This Mean?

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a best friend who always helps you. That’s like how Paul feels about Jesus—Paul trusts Jesus just as much as you might trust your best friend to help you when you need it most.
Historical Background
This verse is from the letter written by Apostle Paul to the Corinthians around 53-54 AD. The audience was a community of Christians facing challenges and divisions, set in a context where Christian faith was still relatively new and controversial.
Living It Out Today
Think about a time when you faced a tough decision at work or school. Relying on your trust in God can give you the confidence to make the right choice, just like Paul's reliance on Christ gave him assurance in his mission.
