"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."
- 2 Corinthians 3:3
Paul here is writing to the Corinthian church and differentiating for the church the old law and the new covenant. The difference between what was written into law and what is now written in our spirits due to Christ.
It was not the differentiation between the old and new laws that stood out to me but when Paul stated "the result of our ministry." Paul said, "you show you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry." That says something to me. It shows how important ministry is and what leaders create in the lives of others. To help make a person a living letter from Christ, wow. But the thing is, Paul was willing to minister and as a result, people were able to fulfill their calling to be in Christ.
Am I willing to give my life to ministry whether in church or not to help others become what they are meant to be in Christ?
