Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 2 Corinthians 3:1-2
What does it take to be a minister for Christ? Seminary school? A Master’s Degree? No you have been anointed by our Lord Jesus Christ to spread the gospel, no man can teach you things except thru the Holy Spirit
You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 2 Corinthians 3:3-4
The old covenant brought death but the new covenant thru Jesus brings eternal life. We can stand before God because we have been washed by the blood of the Lamb
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. 2 Corinthians 3:5
Truth comes from The Word of God, if it’s not in the scriptures it’s not truth. Beware of False Prophets and False religions who claim to have a new understanding or revelations from God. The Word of God is eternal and does not change
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant–not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6
The Holy Spirit has made you competent and strong enough to spread the gospel, Jesus is the Truth, the Life, and The Way, no one goes to the Father without going thru the Son
Jesus said Go and Make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of The Father, Son , and Holy Spirit. Thru Christ will give you strength in Jesus Name Amen
