Let’s prayerfully read 2 Corinthians, chapter 5. What insights to you learn from this passage? What is God speaking to you?
ZOOM INTO Vs. 14. “For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died”
What changes your heart from greed to gratitude? – reflect on Vs. 14
Does thankfulness for the infinite love of Christ empower us, or have we bought into the lie that we have needs for which God is not committed to provide?
What is it that prompts our generosity, encourages our service, and enlists our commitment?
Is it merely a sense of our duty to live up to others’ expectations?
Is it a sense of obligation, a feeling that we must somehow “pay God back” in some measure for the forgiveness and love we have received?
May it never be! The maturing disciple’s heart will be prompted often by the Holy Spirit to consider anew the wonder of being loved by God, the privilege of co-laboring with the Creator, and the awesome truth that we get to relate intimately with Christ.
“Lord, as I reflect on Your acceptance, support, and love of me, my heart is moved with ____________. From a grateful heart, I remember when you _____________________________________ . “
