THE GRACE OF GOD

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who 

hath enabled me, for that he counted 

me faithful, putting me into the 

ministry;  Who was before a blasphemer, 

and a persecutor, and injurious: but I 

obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly 

in unbelief.  And the grace of our Lord was 

exceeding abundant with faith and love 

which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, 

and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus 

came into the world to save sinners; of 

whom I am chief.  Howbeit for this cause I 

obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus 

Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a 

pattern to them which should hereafter 

believe on him to life everlasting.  Now unto the 

King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, 

be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

II Timothy 1:12-17

Every man according as he purposeth 

in his heart, so let him give; not 

grudgingly, or of necessity: for 

God loveth a cheerful giver.

And God is able to make all grace 

abound toward you; that ye, always 

having all sufficiency in all things, 

may abound to every good work:

II Corinthians 9:8 

FOR YOUR SAKES, HE BECAME POOR.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes 

he became poor, that ye through his poverty 

might be rich.

II Corinthians 8:9

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, 

let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness 

of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness 

in the fear of God.

II Corinthians 7:1

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, 

as though God did beseech you by us: 

we pray you in Christ’s stead, 

be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him to be sin for 

us,  who knew no sin; that we might 

be made the righteousness of God 

in him.

II Corinthians 5:20-21

WE WALK BY FAITH, AND NOT BY SIGHT

Therefore we are always confident, 

knowing that, whilst we are at home 

in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

We are confident, I say, and willing rather 

to be absent from the body, and 

to be present with the Lord.  Wherefore we 

labour, that, whether present or absent, 

we may be accepted of him.  For we must 

all appear before the judgment seat of 

Christ; that every one may receive the 

things done in his body, according to that 

he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord,
we persuade men; but we are made
manifest unto God; and I trust also
are made manifest in your consciences.

II Corinthians 5:8
