Saved from ... Saved for

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; (2 Corinthians 5:17-18 ESV) We have been talking, the last couple of weeks, about what God calls us to do. While we desire to do these things, at times we can get tired and unmotivated. Or worse yet, we get discouraged because we fear that it makes no difference and nothing will change. So how do we continue? This week, I want to talk about our motivation. How do we continue even when things are hard? I want to take us to 2 Corinthians 5. Take some time to read through this chapter.
