EPISTLES WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS

2 Corinthians 3:1-3

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 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.

Encouraging Words

As a follower of Christ, has our lives been visibly changed so that people see us different from others? According to Paul, the only recommendation that he needs to point him out as a follower of Christ is all of the people whom he has brought to the saving knowledge of Christ and whose lives have been visibly changed by having the epistle of Christ written on their hearts. This too should be our goal in life, to have the epistle of Christ written on our hearts and to be raising up others that are the same. Glory be to God!
