2 Corinthians 5: Be reconciled to God

Read 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 before you meet.

In a few lines

2 Corinthians 5 says, "we walk by faith, not by sight" (5:7), and "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (5:17). It speaks of reconciling in three verses running (5:18-20), and its plea is, "be reconciled to God" (5:20).

The verse to carry

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.”

2 Corinthians 5:17

To talk about

  1. 1. "for we walk by faith, not by sight." (5:7). Where in your life right now are you walking by faith rather than by what you can see?

  2. 2. "that those who live should no longer live to themselves" (5:15). What would it look like for you to live a little less to yourself this week?

  3. 3. "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (5:17). What difference do these words make to how you think of yourself?
