2 Corinthians

Hope Not in the Flesh

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh…” 2 Corinthians 10:3a What war? You might ask. Even though you are a believer in Jesus Christ, Satan still wars against you to make you ineffective in this lifetime for the Kingdom of God and…

Hope in Giving

“Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make…

Hope Leads to Holiness
