2 Corinthians 3:4-6⬇️
Such confidence we have through Christ before God.
Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves but our competence comes from God.
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.
♦️Exhortation
Paul speaks here about the other apostles and those serving the Lord alongside of Him.
He continues to boast only in the Lord, naming God as their sole sufficiency.
It is God who made them “competent as ministers of the new covenant”.
Those who have been called to ministry stand upon the foundation of Christ Jesus, according to the call, authority, and sovereignty of God.
If they minister truly, they do so because God is in them and speaks life through the Holy Spirit.
We testify, praise and worship the Lord because He is worthy of everything.
The law does not save, men do not save, only Jesus saves.
To God be all the glory.🙏🏾
