"So death is at work in us, but life in you."
(2 Corinthians 4:12)
Have you ever wondered why the Christian life requires so much dying to self? And how that could possibly lead to life for someone else?
In this episode of The Abidible Podcast, host Kate walks through 2 Corinthians 4:12 to help listeners see the beauty behind these difficult words from Paul. Far from being hopeless or harsh, this verse shows us the upside-down way God works: the cost of following Jesus always bears fruit beyond what we can see.
Kate unpacks how suffering in the Christian life is not wasted — it’s the very means by which God brings life, encouragement, and spiritual growth to others. Listeners will be challenged to view their hardships through a gospel lens and encouraged to embrace a life of daily dying for the sake of love, just like Christ.
Click play, and be encouraged today in knowing that God is absolutely at work in your suffering.
