10PRACTICAL BENEFITS
11II Cor 416-18
12Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly
we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day. For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our
eyes not on what is seen, but on what is
unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what
in unseen is eternal. - Paul
13Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us
new birth into a living hope and into an
inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade
kept in heaven for you In this you greatly
rejoice, though now for a little while you may
have had to suffer grief in all kinds of
trials. - Peter
14Dear friends, now we are the children of God, And
what we will be has not yet been made known. But
we know that when he appears, we shall be like
him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who
has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he
is pure. - John
15Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set
before him endured the cross. - Heb 122

19Great Commandment

all your heart and with all your soul and with
all your mind. This is the first and greatest
commandment. - Mt 2237-38
20Great Correction
- This is what the Lord says
- Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the
strong man boast of his strength or - the rich man boast of his riches,
- but let him who boasts boast about this
- that he understands and knows me,
- that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice, and righteousness on earth, - for in these I delight, declares the Lord.
- -Jer 923-24
21Great Requirement
- Jesus proclaiming the good news of God.
- The time has come
- The kingdom of God is near.
- Repent and believe the good news!
- - Mk 115
22Great Danger
- No one can serve two masters, either he will hate
the one and love the other, - or he will be devoted to one
- and despise the other.
- You cannot serve both God and Money.
- - Matt. 624
23Great Strategy
- And he died for all,
- that those who live
- should no longer live for themselves
- but for him who died for them
- and was raised again.
- - 2 Corinthians 515
