HHMI ~ 2 Corinthians 3 ~ Spirit vs Letter ~ Pt 8 ~ How to Minister in the Spirit

You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart. 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 We have been studying 2 Corinthians 3 in context and from a Hebraic perspective. What we see is that the subject that Paul is addressing in this chapter is how to minister one to another. He compares and contrasts ministering to one another in the “flesh” (or by the letter) v/s in the spirit. Your life, and how you live your life, is read, known, and seen by others. If the Torah has been written upon our heart, others will see the Torah being lived out in how we live our life and how we treat others. We are to minister, not in the “letter” but in the spirit: Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor. 3: 6 One who seeks to minister in the letter seeks the praise of men. One who seeks to minister in the spirit seeks to bring glory and honor to Yeshua. For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
