All I Need

(2 Cor. 3:5)
Theme: Sufficiency & Contentment
(Evangelistic)
2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but
our sufficiency is of God;
Sufficiency of ourselves
Job 20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall
come upon him.
Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man
brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to
bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I
bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine
ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose
shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred
from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us.
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that
is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of
God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Contentment with things we have
1 Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Contentment in whatsoever state
Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever
state I am, therewith to be content.
Contentment with Godliness
1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
