2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-18 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Luke 3:9-15 NIV [9] The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” [10] “What should we do then?” the crowd asked. [11] John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” [12] Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” [13] “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,” he told them. [14] Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely-be content with your pay.” [15] The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah.
Question. Work. Hebrews 6:8 NIV [8] But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
Galatians 4:19-20 NIV My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
