2 Corinthians 13:14
“I believe…”
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
2 Corinthians 13:14 (NIV)
Paul offers this blessing at the end of his second letter to the Corinthians. It shows that Christian belief is ultimately about life in community. Community with God (Father, Son, and Spirit) and community with God’s people.
What does it look like to live life in community with God?
Where do you need grace, love, and fellowship from God?
What does it look like to live life in community with God’s people?
What are some barriers that keep you from connecting with others?
Pray this blessing over yourself today and seek to live it out. Who else do you want to pray these words over?
