2 Corinthians Chapter 7 - Marianne Manley

Paul continues his discussion of the doctrine of separation.
What is the "filthiness of the flesh and the spirit"?
Flesh = sinful actions
Spirit = thoughts contrary to God
Paul discloses his own worries and fears.
If we put ourselves under the law then we become like the Pharisees, judgmental, legalistic, and critical.
If our eyes are on ourselves we can have the "sorrow of the world" which leads to self-pity, blaming others or ourselves which leads to depression, self-absorption, defeat, and suicide (remember Judas?).
We need to turn our eyes upon Jesus know what He is doing now.
Paul sent Titus to tell the believers to follow him to follow Christ (1 Cor. 11:1).
