2 Corinthians 5 - 9 (5th December) - Li Juan

1) We live by faith and not by sight. We should make it our goal to continually please God.

2) Anyone in Christ is a new creation. God sent Jesus Christ to us to reconcile us to himself.

3) Do not put stumbling blocks in anyone’s path.

4) Do not be yoked with unbelievers. One of the most common topics discussed, Christians should never get together with a non-Christian, it is what God says in the Bible (Deut 7:3-4).

5) Generosity is encouraged, as it is written at the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Let men praise God for the obedience that accompanies our confession of the gospel of Christ, and for the generosity in sharing with them and everyone else.
