16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Frailty is referred to by many different words!
Infirmity, weakness, impairment, being feeble
and two of my favorites "going down hill" and "sliding into home plate".
These words of 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 speak of more than death!
They speak of eternal life!
The fight is over!
The battle is won!
God in His great mercy, through the miracle of death and the resurrection of Christ His Son has given His followers this gift.
Are you a believer that Christ is able to deliver?
He's calling, He's drawing all men, He will never forsake you.
Sinner, He's patiently waiting, God's sweet gospel words are for you.
They are open to all, regardless of your past, you can be forgiven, become justified, have eternal life in Christ, bow before Him.
He alone is able to deliver!
Let the gospel, hope in Christ and His enduring love change you.
He took your sin and nailed to the cross!
Don't die in sin, sin forever separates.
Be alive in Christ!
10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead-by him this man is standing before you well.
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:10-12
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, - 1 Timothy 2:5
21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things."
26 Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he." - John 4:21-26
6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.
11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. - Colossians 2:6-15
