2 Corinthians 3:1-18
You yourselves are our letter written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. 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 heats.
Our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant- not of the letter bur of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
We are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Why?
As for the past, the old covenant has been replaced by a new life-giving one. The present is an anomaly: on the one hand the apostle is appointed ambassador of God himself, charged with his amazing message to humanity.
In the early days, Christians moving to a new town often took with them such letters from the old church to the new. Paul has no need of such a letter- the very existence of the Corinthian church is sufficient testimony.
Paul's competence comes from God- the Spirit of God.
Letter kills, but the Spirit give life: let us know the truth, lead us know the Christ.
Where spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, don't be limited by the letters of Old covenant. Understand the truth of the Bible let us have real freedom.
Through Christ we may face to face talk to the Lord, the veil is remove.
Our life need to be transformed into Jesus likeness with every-increasing glory which comes from the Spirit of the Lord.
How?
Accept Jesus as our savior and the the Spirit of the Lord will come upon me, my life, my mind change, transforming into Jesus likeness, the glory of the Lord will show up. Most important power is from the Spirit of the Lord.
My life need to be transform into Jesus likeness.
