Knowing that He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of GOD. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2Co 4:14-18)
Because of the eternal life those of us who are secure in Christ already have, by our faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary and by our acknowledging and repenting of our sIn, we are to look to eternal things. The sufferings of this world are but just a moment in light of our everlasting presence with the Lord. Though we fall, we shall not be utterly cast down for we are upheld by His hand. We are strengthened, helped, and renewed by His power and righteousness within us to the work which He has for us to do.
Seeing things from an eternal perspective, and not looking to this world, with its lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, which are not of GOD, we are to be about our Father's business, so that others may believe in Him and receive Him by faith. Dwelling in the unity of the Spirit, and loving one another in the bonds of love, forbearing one another and forgiving one another, we who are in Christ are members of His body, and of one another. We are to bear one another's burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ, for the trials, tribulations, and temptations of this life will pass away along with all the things of this world.
Because of His love for all and by His strength we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. Because of His grace and by His Spirit we discipline one another in the Word and with love so that we may grow thereby and others may know we are His disciples. Because of His mercies that are renewed every morning, we go with the Gospel and teach all nations that they may hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and believe on His Name for eternal life.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
