“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. 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.”
2 Corinthians 3:3-6 NIV
The church at Corinth was a testimony to the work and ministry of Paul and his partners. The Spirit of God had changed their hearts. This was the result of the work of Paul. In our daily lives we may not conceder our vocation a ministry, work, school, home, but it is. What fruit do you have to show for your ministry? This change in the Corinthians was written in their hearts, something written is visible to be seen and read, and so the change in them was visible. If you are living your ministry as Paul lived his one should be able to see a written change in the lives of others. This is not from your effort or as Paul says, “competence” but from the power of the Spirit working through you. “Our competence comes from God.” It is He who gives us the skill, power and energy to minister(share) the new covenant. And what is this new covenant, it is Christ, crucified, buried and raised from the dead. Here in only, will man find forgiveness of his sins.
