Unshaken Study - Week 4, Day 5: Romans 5

On the final day of our study, we reflect on Romans 5, a passage that encapsulates the essence of hope, peace, and joy through Christ, even amidst suffering. Paul explains that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. This hope does not put us to shame because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. As we navigate health challenges, this scripture invites us to see them as part of a greater divine narrative where suffering has a purpose, and where peace, joy, and eternal life are promised through our faith in Christ.
Week 4, Day 5: Embracing Hope and Joy in Suffering
Scripture Focus: Romans 5:1-21
Romans 5:1-21 provides a profound perspective on suffering, emphasizing how it produces perseverance, character, and hope. Paul reassures us that this hope does not disappoint because of God's love poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. This passage helps us understand our health challenges within the context of God's greater plan, promising peace, joy, and eternal life through Christ.
Key Verses:
"Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (v.1).
"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope" (v.3-4).
"Hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us" (v.5).
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (v.8).
"We also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation" (v.11).
Questions to Ponder:
Peace with God: "Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (v.1). How does understanding that you have peace with God alter your response to health challenges? How can this assurance affect your daily life?
Rejoicing in Sufferings: Paul discusses rejoicing in our sufferings because suffering produces perseverance (v.3). Reflect on a personal experience where a health challenge led to perseverance. How did this experience strengthen your character and deepen your hope?
God’s Love in Difficult Times: "Hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit" (v.5). How can remembering that God's love is continually poured into your life inspire you during difficult times? What are some ways you can remind yourself of this truth when facing health challenges?
Christ’s Ultimate Sacrifice: Consider the ultimate sacrifice of Christ discussed in v.6-8. How does the realization that Christ died for us while we were still sinners help you grasp the depth of His love and commitment to your well-being?
Reconciliation with God: "We also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation" (v.11). How does the concept of reconciliation with God bring peace and joy to your life, especially in the context of health issues? How can this peace and joy be shared with others who are struggling?
Conclusion:
Join us as we explore Romans 5:1-21, reflecting on the transformative power of suffering and the hope that does not disappoint.

Unshaken Study - Week 4, Day 4: 2 Corinthians 4:1-18

As we near the end of our study, today’s scripture, 2 Corinthians 4:1-18, encourages us to shift our focus from the temporal to the eternal. In this passage, Paul speaks about the challenges and persecutions he faces, yet he emphasizes the importance of not losing heart. Despite the outer decay, he highlights the renewal happening within us day by day and the eternal glory that far outweighs any present troubles when we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. This perspective is crucial as we deal with health challenges, reminding us to look beyond our current struggles to the eternal hope and promise in Christ.
Week 4, Day 4: Embracing Eternal Perspective
Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 4:1-18
2 Corinthians 4:1-18 provides a powerful reminder to focus on the eternal rather than the temporal. Paul encourages believers to not lose heart despite their trials, emphasizing that the inner renewal and eternal glory far outweigh any current struggles. This perspective helps us navigate health challenges with hope and faith.
Key Verses:
"Light will shine out of darkness" (v.6).
"But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves" (v.7).
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day" (v.16).
"For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory" (v.17).
"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" (v.18).
Questions to Ponder:
Revealing Jesus in Our Lives: Consider the statement that the life of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal body (v.11). How can your health challenges and how you handle them serve as a testimony to the life and power of Jesus? What steps can you take to ensure that your life reflects this even in times of difficulty?
Affliction for God’s Glory: Reflect on how your understanding of affliction as being for God’s glory might transform your approach to suffering (v.15). How does seeing your trials as opportunities to glorify God influence your attitude towards them?
Inward Renewal: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day" (v.16). How does this verse help you to cope with the physical or emotional wear of health challenges? In what ways can you focus more on your inner renewal?
Eternal Perspective: Paul contrasts the light and momentary troubles with the eternal glory that far outweighs them all (v.17). How can maintaining an eternal perspective change your daily experience and response to health challenges?
Focusing on the Unseen: "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" (v.18). What are some practical ways you can shift your focus from your current health issues to the eternal promises of God?
Conclusion:
Join us as we explore 2 Corinthians 4:1-18, learning to embrace an eternal perspective that helps us navigate health challenges with hope and faith. Let’s fix our eyes on the unseen, allowing God’s promises to guide us through our current struggles and into His eternal glory.
