WHAT A PRIVILEGE IS OURS!

• 2 Corinthians 214318

Something To Think About!

• Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to address problems in
  the church at Corinth and to answer certain
  questions they had raised. Paul experienced
  severe anguish over the Corinthian situation (2
  Corinthians 24) and wrote another stern letter,
  which he sent by Titus. Impatient to learn the
  results of that letter and the visit of Titus,
  Paul went to Macedonia hoping to meet him. It was
  there he finally received the good news (2
  Corinthians 75-16).

KEY VERSE
2 Corinthians 311 For if that which is done
away was glorious, much more that which remaineth
is glorious.

• Our final salvation includes the redemption of
  our bodies. Most Greek philosophers considered
  the physical body a prison and saw death as a
  deliverance from its bondage. Mention of the
  resurrection of the body brought sneers at Athens
  (Acts 1732), the same spirit that must have
  prevailed at Corinth, since it, too, was a Greek
  city. Paul viewed the literal bodily resurrection
  of Christ as foundational to salvation and as
  proof of the saintsresurrection.

• Exodus 3429-35 Galatians 216

THE LIBERTY IN MINISTERING THE GOSPEL 2
Corinthians 312-18 A Contrast With the Law
(12-15) Exodus 3429-35 The Open Face of the
Lord (16-18) Exodus 3434 1Corinthians 139-12

• This passage touches on the very soul of worship.
  God-honoring, life-changing worship involves two
  essential elements. They are praying with the
  spirit and with the understanding also (verse
  15). God requires that we worship Him in spirit
  and in truth (John 423). Both the head and the
  heart must be touched and moved in response.

• QUESTIONS FOR STUDY AND DISCUSSION
• 1. Paul writes of triumph in Christ. How do you
  reconcile this with the difficulties he described
  in chapter 1?
• 2. How have some in our day diluted the Word of
  God? How can we guard its purity?
• 3. What value did Moses give to the old covenant,
  and how did the new covenant surpass it?
• 4. How can the ministry be described as both
  difficult and glorious?
• 5. In what sense do we have liberty in Christ?
• 6. How is Christlikeness achieved in our lives?
