"Don't Lose Heart"
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The realities of the unseen workings in the Christian's life are a sure cause for our hearts to remain resolute.

1. The heart matters. (4:16a)

2. While death works in our bodies, life is working in our spirit. (4:16b)

3. Suffering works for us. (4:17)

4. We must focus with the eyes of faith. (4:18)

The Bible Text

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
17 For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
