**2 Corinthians 6:1** — *"As God's fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain."*
Paul writes this from within a relationship — *fellow workers*, not distant observers. He and his co-laborers had suffered beatings, sleepless nights, and slander to deliver this grace to Corinth. And now he pleads: don't let it sit idle.
Grace received but never activated is like seed stored in a barn while the field goes unplanted. It was given for something. For someone. For today.
The Greek word *kenon* — translated "in vain" — means empty, hollow, without result. Paul's concern isn't whether they *felt* grace. It's whether grace *moved* them.
Stewardship of grace is perhaps the most overlooked calling in the believer's walk. We are not merely recipients. We are, by covenant, co-laborers with the living God.
Consider the grace you've been handed this week — and whether it has yet found its field.
