2 Corinthians 3:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 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.
A new covenant — God willingly entered into a new agreement
with us, his creatures, sealed it with the blood of his Son Jesus, and sent the
Spirit to give us the power to live the life of this new covenant. God has made
a covenant of love and grace with us. The Almighty has then turned around and
made us worthy and competent to share that covenant with others. No wonder it
is life giving: it brings life to us and through us!
Thought for today:
Am I enjoying the “new life” promised by the covenant?
