You hold the gospel in earthen vessels so that power will come from God and not yourself. Even though your outer man decays, your inner man is renewed day by day. Through Christ, you are a new creation, the old has passed and new things have come. Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, 16-18 and 2 Corinthians 5:14,15,17-21 (NASB)
