Preparing to Preach: 2 Corinthians 3:1-6

<p>Brian Bowman and Mathew Mueller talk about preparing to preach 2 Corinthians 3:1-6. </p><p><br></p><p>1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?</p><p>2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all.</p><p>3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.</p><p>4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.</p><p>5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,</p><p>6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.</p>
