2 Corinthians 4:16-5:5

The future of this ministry

Paul’s concern for Corinth is that they do not lose heart in authentic gospel ministry. Authentic ministry looks weak and is a struggle. So what will keep us enduring in authentic ministry? The answer lies in looking to things unseen and eternal. As we consider the house built by God, eternal in the heavens, so we are renewed internally day by day. This says Paul is what it looks and feels like to have the Spirit.
