2 Corinthians 3:4-6

Christians are to be centered, leaning neither to the far right or the far left, balanced in the Spirit of the law!!! Being empathetic to all the different social and cultural groups of people so that a few may accept the gift of salvation in Jesus that the Father offers to all His creation.

God is always in control!! Holy Spirit will direct and guide us!

2 Corinthians 3:4–6

4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 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.

Continuing the defense of his apostolic ministry, Paul states that he doesn’t need letters of recommendation to validate his ministry rather, God validates his ministry. Paul then transitions into a discussion of the new covenant aspect of his ministry, comparing Moses’ ministry of the law (or old covenant) with his ministry of the new covenant.

Paul  points to God as the source of his qualifications; his confidence does not come from his own abilities, but from the power of God. The law does not justify people; it only identifies sin and condemns. Instead, people are justified by faith. Faithlife Bible.Paul was convinced that Christ would make his ministry effective. Paul placed his confidence not in himself or his own abilities but in the Lord. This is the answer to the question asked in 2:16, Who is sufficient? The letter is a reference to the old covenant—that is, the Ten Commandments written on stone. The letter kills because all break the law, and the penalty is death. NKJ Bible.

John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
