“MNEMONICS … AND HOW TO REMEMBER STUFF”
“MNEMONICS … AND HOW TO REMEMBER STUFF”
“You know I’ve read 2nd Corinthians chapter
5 dozens of times …
but I just can’t remember what’s in it!”
Simples! Use a MNEMONIC.
Well-known ones are “EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FRUIT”
and “FACE”.
Look it up. They are the notes and spaces on the
treble clef.
The key words in 2 Corinthians chapter 5 are …
Tabernacle – our eternal heavenly home
Earnest – eternal security guaranteed because of the down
payment in our lives … it’s called an earnest … it’s something put on
Lay Buy
when buying something … you will be coming back to pick it up
Absent – about the rapture … absent from our physical bodies but
present with
the Lord
Judgment – Christians will appear at the judgment seat of Christ
Terror – this is for Christian terror … not the unsaved
Creature – Christians are not new creations yet … just new
creatures … the new
creation comes at the rapture
Ambassadors – Christians have a ministry of that of ambassadors …
reconciling the unsaved with the Jesus Christ the Saviour
1
For
we know that if our earthly house of this TABERNACLE
were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
2
For
in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house
which is
from heaven:
3
If
so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4
For
we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not
for that we
would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed
up of
life.
5
Now
he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also
hath
given unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit.
6
Therefore
we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in
the
body, we are absent from the Lord:
7
(For
we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8
We
are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ABSENT
from the
body, and to be present with the Lord.
9
Wherefore
we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10
For
we must all appear before the JUDGMENT seat of Christ; that
every one
may receive the things done in his body, according to
that he
hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11
Knowing
therefore the TERROR of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are
made
manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your
consciences.
12
For
we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory
on our
behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in
appearance, and not in heart.
13
For
whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be
sober, it
is for your
cause.
14
For
the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one
died for
all, then were all dead:
15
And
that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth
live
unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
16
Wherefore
henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known
Christ
after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
17
Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new CREATURE:
old things
are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18
And
all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by
Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19
To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of
reconciliation.
20
Now
then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you
by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled
to God.
21
For
he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we
might be
made the righteousness of God in him.
