For followers of Christ, suffering in the present comes with precious promises for the future.
- Read 2 Corinthians 4:16–5:10. Distinguish between those parts of believers’ experiences that reflect their present situation, and those that reflect the promise of the future fulfillment of their life in Christ.
[NOTE: If you are logged into YouVersion, you can simply highlight the reference to the present situation in one color and future fulfillment in another color.]
In the table below, you’ll see some examples of our present situation versus future fulfillment in 2 Corinthians 4:16–5:10.
|
Present |
Future |
|
Outwardly we are wasting away. (4:16) |
Inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (4:16) |
|
The earthly tent we live in is destroyed. (5:1) |
We have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven. (5:1) |
|
We groan and are burdened. (5:4) |
We have the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. (5:5) |
|
What is seen (4:18) |
What is unseen (4:18) |
List quoted from: V. G. Shillington, 2 Corinthians, 1998, p. 106.
