Image
    2 Corinthians 3:3 “[Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” ·         The Spirit of God had written the law of God on the fleshly part of their hearts. ·         When the believer accepts Jesus his heart is washed in the blood of the Lamb and filled with the Spirit, Christ is ministering to them i.e.,   Christ within you is because you listened to the message preached and you have accepted it. ·         God was writing His law on the hearts of those people He transformed- an internal change wrought by God in the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:6 “Who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” · ...
