Ministry of Death
Basic Gospel
Published on 02/06/2017
The first time I read 2 Corinthians 3:7 I thought, Now just a minute Paul, what are you saying about the Ten Commandments? Here’s what he wrote: “Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone.” Wow! The 10 Commandments is a ministry that brings death and condemnation?! I had never thought of it that way. But then I started thinking about all my efforts to live up to the law. All I got back was condemnation. That’s what the law said to me. Those Ten Commandments speak condemnation and death to all of us. I finally started listening. And when I did I found my heart ready to receive Jesus’ words of love, forgiveness, and life. How about you. Are you listening?
