Here is a guide to the meaning of the colors I use...
- Black -- General insights the Lord shows me as I read.
- Blue -- Specific things I need to do.
- Red -- Things I need to be thankful for.
- Green -- Prayers I need to pray.
Let's get started...
Today, read 2 Corinthians 3 on your own at least one time. As you read, make notes in a notebook or in the margins of your Bible. Record all of the insights God gives you. Don't read my remarks until you have first done this yourself.
Here are the insights I wrote down along with the verses they go with...
-----
3:5-6 (NLT) It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. 6 He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.
It is God who enables a person to minister. The qualification and the sufficiency come from Him!
-----
3:14 (NLT) But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ.
Thank you Lord that you have removed the veil. Thank you for giving the Holy Spirit to help me to better understand Scripture.
-----
3:18 (NLT) So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
