II Corinthians 5:11-13 - Terror vs. Glory of the Lord

5:13 Sin not counted against you without law. 
 
The law, that all of us are under, is the law of the conscience (Romans 2:14-15; 7:9). 
 
5:14 Death reigned because of our sin nature. 
 
Adam’s sin was that he obeyed his wife (Genesis 3:17), when he should have obeyed God (I Corinthians 11:3). 
 
Even if we do not commit that sin, we are still dead because we are in Adam. 
 
Adam is a figure of Christ because neither one had a sin nature when they were created. 
 
5:15 We have death because it is imputed unto us by Adam, not because we sin ourselves. Similarly, we have life because it is imputed unto us by Christ, not because we operated in life.

II Corinthians 5:9-10 - Q&A - Mind of Christ; Matthew 7:1 vs. I Corinthians 2:15; Judging Others

5:9 Our labour should be toward acceptance by Christ (I Corinthians 15:58; Philippians 3:9-14). 
 
5:10 What did we do IN our bodies? This is what is judged at the judgment seat of Christ. 
 
We receive a reward of a position in heavenly places at the judgment seat of Christ, which determines how glorious our bodies are (I Corinthians 3:13-15). 
 
There are also degrees of punishment in hell (Matthew 10:15; 11:20-24; 23:14-15). Therefore, unbelievers probably receive bodies that are an abhorring based upon their punishment (Isaiah 66:24).

II Corinthians 5:6-8 - Q&A - Faith Moves Religion's Mountain; Religious Friends; Eating in Heaven

5:6 5:1 says “we know,” 5:6 says “we are always confident,” and 5:8 says “we are confident.” This shows that there is no doubt that we will be forever with the Lord once we die. 
 
As long as we have our vile flesh, “we are absent from the Lord.” 
 
5:7 We are to walk according to who we are in Christ, not according to our vile flesh. 
 
Walking by faith means walking by God’s Word rightly divided (Hebrews 11:1; Romans 10:17; 1:17; Matthew 4:4) not by some blind faith in fatalism or living by feelings (James 3:15). 
 
5:8 When believers die, we are “absent from the [vile] body” “and…present with the Lord.” This is preferred to staying in our vile bodies as Christians. “FAR better” (Philippians 1:23). 
 
Churchianity has no confidence in going to heaven, which is why they are afraid to die and do not walk by faith. They say they are going to heaven, because that is the right thing to say to maintain a fair shew in the flesh (Galatians 6:12).

5:6  5:1 says “we know,” 5:6 says “we are always confident,” and 5:8 says “we are confident.” This shows that there is no doubt that we will be forever with the Lord once we die.

II Corinthians 5:6-8  Walk by Faith, not by Sight

5:7-8 Christ died for sinners, not for the righteous or for the good (Matthew 9:12-13; Hosea 6:6). 
 
We were enemies of God (5:10). 
 
We receive God’s love when we are saved; we give God’s love out after we have gone through trials. 
 
5:9,11 We have NOW been justified by His blood and have NOW received the atonement. 
 
You are judged once you die (Hebrews 9:27-28). 
 
When you believe the gospel, ye are dead, and Christ is your life (Colossians 3:3-4; Galatians 2:20). This enables God to justify you by Christ’s blood. 
 
5:10 “WERE reconciled” shows that it is in the past. 
 
This is why eternal security is true: “Much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life” (5:10). 
 
If we are not eternally secure, we are not reconciled to God. Therefore, we have to work on being reconciled, rather than being saved from the course of this world by Christ’s life.

5:4 We do not hate our bodies (Ephesians 5:29), but we have to sacrifice them to Christ (Romans 12:1-2) for Christ to live in us (Galatians 2:20). Therefore, we are burdened, much like someone after a stroke. 
 
We want mortality to “be swallowed up of life.” 
 
Death is swallowed up in victory at the rapture (I Corinthians 15:51-54). 
 
Because we do not receive our glorified bodies until the rapture, the dead in Christ rise first at the rapture (I Thessalonians 4:15-17). 
 
Christ has His glorified body; we receive ours at the rapture (I Corinthians 15:23). 
 
The Father MUST reign until the rapture (I Corinthians 15:24-28; Hebrews 2:8-10), because Christ’s body must be completed before it can take over heavenly places (Acts 2:33-36; Ephesians 1:19-23). 
 
5:5 God has given us the down payment of the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14), which gives us liberty to have Christ live in us (3:17). 
 
We are made for life (John 10:10; Romans 6:3-5). “Wrought” (Ephesians 1:19-23) (God makes our new bodies, as He made our old bodies (Genesis 2:7; Psalm 139:14-16; I Corinthians 15:38).

2 Corinthians 4:12-15 Q&A Faith of Christ; Sea = Satan's Realm; Lake of Fire; Jehovah's Witnesses

4:12 Death working in us means that “ye are dead” (Colossians 3:3). “Crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God” (13:4). Our perfection comes when we are weak in the flesh, and Christ is strong in us (13:9). We are crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). If life is working in the Corinthians, it means they are not living the Christ life. I Corinthians 4:8-9 shows that they are not suffering enough. 
 
4:13-14 Why is death working in Paul but life is working in the Corinthians if they both have “the same spirit of faith” (4:13)? Paul quotes Psalm 116:10, which is what Jesus said. Jesus was greatly afflicted and went to hell (Psalm 116:3), but He knew that God would deliver Him because He believed. Death had to be worked out in Christ before resurrection life could be worked out in Christ (Ephesians 1:19-21). The only way we can have Christ’s resurrection life live through us today is if we believe, as Jesus did in Psalm 116, that God will deliver us from the death and sin of our flesh. (Note that Paul does not quote the part of Psalm 116:10 where Jesus says, “I was greatly afflicted.” This is because Jesus was afflicted for us (5:21), taking our punishment for us.) Romans 8:10-13 says that we have the life of the Spirit in us. God can then quicken our mortal bodies by the Spirit so that we mortify the deeds of the body and have Christ live in us. 
 
The Corinthians’ problem was that they were not believing God’s Word so that the resurrection life of Christ could work in them. So, Christ’s death worked in Paul, but the Corinthians’ fleshly life worked in them (4:12). At the rapture, both Paul and the Corinthians will be glorified. 
 
4:15 If the Corinthians see Christ’s life working in Paul, it should cause them to want the same thing to happen to them. This is how “all things are for your sakes” (4:15). When they see “the abundant grace” of Christ working in Paul, they should thank Christ for this. They should then be followers of Paul (I Corinthians 4:16) in the things of 4:8-11, because they see the life of Jesus manifest in Paul’s mortal flesh. This means that Jesus’ life can be manifest in their flesh, as well. Then, when Christ lives in them, the result is that Christ’s grace redounds (contributes greatly) to the glory of God. 
 
I learned right division in my late teens. I believed it to be true, but I did not really grow in the doctrine until I met John Verstegen in my early 30s. To him, right division was not a religious system, but it was the life of Christ in him. Seeing this life of Christ caused me to desire to get the doctrine in my inner man so that Christ could live in me to a greater extent. Now, people see the life of Christ in me, and they desire to have Christ live in them. This is how Christ’s grace redounds to the glory of God. It is the snowball effect of the Christ life, because it is so attractive to those who desire heavenly things.

4:12  Death working in us means that “ye are dead” (Colossians 3:3). “Crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God” (13:4). Our perfection comes when we are weak in the flesh, and Christ is strong in us (13:9). We are crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). If life is working in the Corinthians, it means they are not living the Christ life. I Corinthians 4:8-9 shows that they are not suffering enough.

4:13-14  Why is death working in Paul but life is working in the Corinthians if they both have “the same spirit of faith” (4:13)? Paul quotes Psalm 116:10, which is what Jesus said. Jesus was greatly afflicted and went to hell (Psalm 116:3), but He knew that God would deliver Him because He believed. Death had to be worked out in Christ before resurrection life could be worked out in Christ (Ephesians 1:19-21). The only way we can have Christ’s resurrection life live through us today is if we believe, as Jesus did in Psalm 116, that God will deliver us from the death and

2 Cor 4:10-11 Q&A 1 of 2 - Col 1:23; Overwhelmed; Ex-Mormon; Guilty Conscience; Chastisement

4:10 Dying to get life – John 12:24-25. A corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die in order to bring forth fruit. So, too, we must give up our lives and let Christ live in us (Galatians 2:20) because He is our life (Colossians 3:4), then we will be living out our eternal lives. The life of Christ in us (Galatians 2:20) is a good definition of our eternal lives. Eternal life is not in a place (heaven); it is in a person (Christ). It is having complete trust in God the Father, which only happens through living by the faith of the Son of God, as the Holy Ghost teaches us God’s Word. 
 
4:11 “I die daily” – I Corinthians 15:31 
“Mortal flesh” = “earthen vessels” (4:7) 
Philippians 3:9-14 be found in Christ and HIS righteousness which is through the faith of Christ. Know His sufferings, be made conformable to His death. Apprehend life in Christ. This is the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 
“Fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake” (Colossians 1:24). 
Walk in newness of life – Romans 6:4 
Use the mind of Christ to think that you are equal with God but also humble yourself and become obedient unto death (Philippians 2:5-8) 
Jesus Christ learned obedience by the things He suffered (Hebrews 5:8-9). He was made “perfect through sufferings” (Hebrews 2:9-10). 
Paul had the sentence of death in himself so that he would trust in God, not in himself (1:8-10).
