Bible Passage:  2 Corinthians 13 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified… -          2 Corinthians 13: 5 We’ve always been told to examine ourselves, like to examine how is the status of our faith, and [...]

Bible Passage:  2 Corinthians 12 “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, [...]

Bible Passage:  2 Corinthians 11 I can’t think of any way to possibly put myself completely into Paul’s shoes when I was reading through verses 23 onwards to 27. Paul was imprisoned, beaten with rods, stoned, shipwrecked, and laboured in such a poor state (in hunger, thirst, sleeplessness and cloth-less-ness). Paul went through these sufferings [...]

Bible Passage: 2 Corinthians 7 Paul concluded in Chapter 6 that there is a need to separate from worldly thinking and actions so that we can have a closer walk with God. With that commandment to come out from among them and be separate (2 Cor 6:17), God promised, “I will be a Father to [...]

From the previous chapter, we read: Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians [...]

Bible Passage:  2 Corinthians 5 Dear appleofHiseye, I was inspired by your letter yesterday to write a reply to it, I hope the others don’t mind, because your letter spoke right to my heart, probably the same feeling that the churches back then felt when they received Paul’s letters firsthand and reading them aloud. Sometimes [...]

Bible Passage:  2 Corinthians 4 Dear Reader, Sometimes we look at life through a telescope, camera lens, a monitor screen, or a pair of eyes. But there is something more than the things seen, beyond what we can see. When we forget our direction in life Paul’s letter, though written millenniums ago, addresses us with [...]
