Introduction
Let me ask you a question what are you aiming for?
No matter what we need to aim to live our lives in such a way that our lives can withstand the scrutiny of Jesus.
In the 13th chapter of 2 Corinthians Paul begins by saying that His ministry will stand the scrutiny of two or three witnesses.
Paul wants the church at Corinth—as well as us—to understand this one fact!
SIN HAS NO PLACE IN OUR LIVES!
Sin has No Place in Our Lives
2 Corinthians 13:5-
Examine ourselves to see if we can stand the test!
Examine ourselves to see if we can stand the test!
This is not talking about salvation (or justification), rather Paul is talking about being free from sin—or sanctification.
Every believer will fact judgment.
Paul wants us to judge ourselves to see where we are in the process of life.
2 Corinthians 13:7-
Nothing wrong!
Paul’s prayer is that during our self-examination we would find “nothing wrong!”
Some will not believe we are standing the test.
Can’t Stand Against THE Truth
The truth is this—no matter how good we are, or how strong we are.
When we are weak—God makes us strong
Paul prays for their perfection
Paul wants every Christian to be perfect or complete.
The Greek word translated here in the NIV as “perfection” is used only here and in verse 11.
Paul’s Final Greetings
2 Corinthians 13:11-
Farewell
Paul begins this section by letting the reader know we are coming to the end of the letter.
Aim for Perfection
Let me ask you a question.
What are you aiming for?
Are you aiming for good?
Or are you aiming for perfection?
Paul tells us we need to be aiming for perfection, or completeness.
or completeness.
Be of one mind
This could be compared with .
Live in peace
These two together—peace, and being of one mind shows unity.
Unity comes out of God’s love and peace.
Conclusion
In our Christian life we need to stop settling.
For far too long in our society people have settled—adequate, okay, or just enough to get by is acceptable.
