2_Corinthians 3:1~18
We Are Ministers Of A New Covenant, Ron Ward
YOU ARE A LETTER FROM CHRIST
Passage: 2_Corinthians 3:1~6
Key verse: 3
God gave his word to us. He forgives our sins and makes us new. He is all the recommendation we need, for he purifies us with his Spirit. He creates each of us newly and makes us a testimony of the gospel of the forgiveness of sins. Each believer is a unique letter of Christ. His power and grace are written in our hearts and lives. Our ministry is also a letter that testifies to the living God who is at work in the world today.
God worked in and through Paul to make him competent as a minister of the new covenant. The new covenant, sealed by Jesus' blood, is God's promise to forgive sinners who repent and believe in Jesus, and his promise to give them his Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God gives believers new birth into the family of God and into a living hope in the heavenly kingdom.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your word and Spirit that gives life and makes new. Bless me to be a living letter of the gospel today.
