The Covenant of Life

""Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!" 2 Corinthians 3:7-9 We have two contrasting ministries. One brought death and the other brought life. * Why didn't the Jews speak God's name? Can we speak his name? * Are Gentiles included in the promises given to Israel? Ephesians 2:14-18 * I've found four occurrences of water and the Holy Spirit being connected. Are there any other places where water and the Holy Spirit are connected?
