God’s Truth for Trying Times - 10/22/20

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: ‬‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭2:17‬ ‭

“For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭2:17‬)

CONSIDER: So many peddle the Word like cheap wares. They sell short the immeasurable Gospel riches of Christ embedded in the Word. We are commissioned by God as his ambassadors for Christ's kingdom. We are to come with clean hands and a pure heart to speak the Word of God to people in need of God's saving grace in Christ.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
