How do we know God's strength is made perfect in weakness?
Answered in 1 source
God's strength is revealed in our weakness, as noted in 2 Corinthians 12:9, where Paul learns that Christ's grace is sufficient.
Paul's experience in 2 Corinthians 12:9 illustrates the principle that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. This reality is foundational for every believer; it highlights that our acknowledgment of weakness is crucial to experiencing Christ’s strength. When we confront our limitations and mortality, it is then that we fully grasp the sufficiency of God's grace. Paul understood this personally through the afflictions he faced, learning that his weaknesses were opportunities for Christ's power to manifest. This divine exchange underscores the paradox of Christian strength rooted not in self-sufficiency, but in reliance upon Christ.
