Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Corinthians 6:1

"And working together [with him] we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain" — 2 Corinthians 6:1 (ASV)

God's servants are called to take many different positions. They are ambassadors under one aspect; they are workers under another.

As ambassadors, they are ambassadors for Christ, as workers, they are workers together with God. Oh, how much it costs to win a soul!

I mean, not only how much it cost the Saviour, so that he broke his very heart over it, and poured out his life's blood—but also how much it must cost the messenger of peace! He must know how to beseech and implore; and when even this fails, he must still go on toiling, labouring, as a worker together with God.
