Living Letters of Christ
​

You are manifestly 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 3:3)


Another significant characteristic resulting from living by grace is that we become living letters of Christ. "You are manifestly an epistle of Christ." The Lord wants to turn our lives into a "walking and talking letter of Him." He wants to make us a living explanation of who Christ is and all that He offers. What a great opportunity this presents. As we go about our daily responsibilities, others are often "reading our lives." While they are observing us, they can actually be learning of the truth and love of our Lord Jesus, as He is working in and through our lives. Although this may sound like too much to hope for, the Lord declares in His word that this process can become very clear to those who are watching us: "You are manifestly [that is, "to be plainly recognized as"] an epistle of Christ."...

He led you through the great and terrible wilderness,
with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water
He brought water for you out of the rock of flint.
-- Deuteronomy 8:15

Not all who have ears are able to hear, and not all who have eyes are able to see. I'm sure all those of Noah's day were blind, deaf and dumb, but that apparently was no excuse, they were all destroyed. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Hey!, that one there in the middle is my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great step- 1/2 gramma ~ on my great, great, great, great, Uncle's side!

wow, what a small world!

I'd like to know who went out there and combed the sand to make all those nice neat lines?

How the Characteristics of Grace Appear
​

And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant. (2 Corinthians 3:4-6)


We have been considering some characteristics that God wants to develop in our lives by His grace, namely: triumphant living, a fragrance of Christ, godly sincerity, and becoming living letters of Christ. How do these appear in our lives in an ever-increasing manner? As Paul wrote on these wonderful descriptions of godly living, his heart was stirred to ask, "And who is sufficient for these things?" (2 Corinthians 2:16). Paul fully realized that man cannot produce these realities. Human resources are inadequate....
