Chapter 13 - 5/5/26 QAS 5 n 6? He’s advising them to start checking their own state (spiritually) instead of checking him always. That they should be checking their level of faith if they truly have christ in them truly following him, living in them?, repented?, still holding to their sins?. If christ is in them then they are not disqualified but if they claim to be his and refusing to repent then they needa check themselves. But they should know that he’s not disqualified😂. The reason he keeps mentioning being “disqualified” when talking about bout improving Because he care about their spiritual growth Referencing chapter 9:27 in 1corinth to push them to move past selfish pride and into a life of self-denial and genuine, loving improvement. Application: I learn to be honest with myself in Chapter 13. It is simple to criticize others n challenge authorities or point out the errors of others. Bu the chap emphasizes that we must first examine our own hearts. "Is Christ really being seen in my life?" is a wonderful life question from this chapter. It goes beyond simply asking, "Do I believe in God?" to ask, "Is my faith changing my actions, attitude, words, habits, and relationships?" teaches that occasional correction is required. Paul was prepared to be strict if sin persisted but he did not want to be cruel. Sin is not disregarded by true love. True love corrects, repairs, and warns. Lamentations 3:40 & James 1:4 2 Corinthians = we should remain faithful to Christ through weakness, suffering, correction, and misunderstanding, trusting that God’s grace is enough and that His power is revealed through humble, surrendered lives. The rule is simple enough. Commit to a personal or professional goal for 21 straight days. After three weeks, the pursuit of that goal should have become a habit. Once you've established that habit, you continue to do it for another ninety days Moving forward, what to improve on: - communication - Doing mornings - Not rushing it (focus and know we’re in God’s presence) - We didn’t challenge our understanding (not much questions) - Go through previous memory gems before we start a chapter - Learn verses as we go - Sing atleast one song before starting - Reflection days (what went well, what didn’t,- like letting it out) - sabbaths Strengths: - Consistency (only missed 3 days) - Pushed each other - There was order in our studies - clear structure - 6 min guy helped Memory gems for 2 Corinthians 2 cor 1:4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 cor 2:14 Now that’s be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place 2 cor 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 cor 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 2 cor 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 cor 6:2 For He says: In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 cor 7:10 “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.” 2 cor 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. 2 Cor 9:7 “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 cor 10:3 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.” 2 cor 11:14 “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” 2 cor 12:9 “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 cor 13:5 “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.”
