The Time Of Gods Favor

2 Corinthians 6:1-2
As God’s fellow workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2 For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

Paul told the Church of Corinthians that the time of Gods favor was then. Paul is said to be writing the book of 2 Corinthians about 55/56 A.D. Presumably then the time of Gods favor is today as well. The time of Gods favor began when Jesus the Messiah came. Nothing has significantly changed since that time, except the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 A.D. So I conclude, with Paul that you and I are living in the time of Gods favor.

The text says that in the time of Gods favor, he hears and helps us. We know that no one comes to the Father except through Jesus (John 14:6). So God hears us through Jesus. And we know that Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to be our helper (John 14:26).

We are living in the time of Gods favor. Seek him while he may be found, call upon him while he is near (Isaiah 55:6).
