Memory Verse:

The Repentance and Holiness Connection (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:16)
 
What agreement has the temple of God with idols?  For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, 
 
I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  (2 Corinthians 6:16—quote from Leviticus 26:12)
 
 
The context of Leviticus 26 = _____________________
 
You shall not make idols for yourselves or erect an image or pillar, and you shall not set up a figured stone in your land to bow down to it, for I am the LORD your God.  You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.  
 
 
Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing (2 Corinthians 6:17quote from Isaiah 52:11)
 
 
The context of Isaiah 52 = _________________ from _____________________
 
 
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.  (2 Corinthians 7:1)
 
 
worldly grief vs. godly grief
 
As it it, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting.  For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.  For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.  For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment!  At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter. (2 Corinthians 7:9-11)
