Keys to Not Losing Heart (A Study of 2 Corinthians 4)
Friends: If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know that my friend Frank (in New Jersey) and I have been doing an email Bible study for over a year. We read the same chapter every day for a week — and then send a brief email of encouragement to each other. We’ve completed most of the epistles of the New Testament — and it’s been a great discipline for both of us.
We’re now working our way through 2 Corinthians. Here’s my outline for several verses in chapter four. (I needed to include the entire chapter below):
Keys to Not Losing Heart (2 Cor. 4)
1. Follow God-Honoring Ways in Your Ministry (v. 2)
2. Set Forth the Truth — and Yourself — Plainly (v. 2)
3. Recognize That the Minds of Unbelievers Are Blinded (vv. 3-4)
4. Don’t Preach Yourself, But Christ! (vv. 5-6)
5. Don’t Minimize Your Own Suffering for the Savior (vv. 7-12)
6. Do Your Work Out of Faith in the Lord Jesus (vv. 13-15)
7. Be Motivated by the Biblical Certainty of Eternity (vv. 16-18)
