A Deep Dependence

Read 2 Corinthians 3:1-11

Reflection of Tommy:

Recently, I was surprised to learn about the ritualistic and legalistic side of a religion that to me give so much stress and burden to its believer. As mentioned in verse 6 in today’s passage – “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”, we know that trying to be saved by keeping moral law will end in death.

It is only by believing in Jesus Christ that we receive eternal life through the Holy Spirit. The law makes us realize about our sins and showing us how to obey God, but our forgiveness comes only through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ (Rom. 7:10-8:2)

Daer Father, thank You for implanting the Holy Spirit in my heart, giving me new power to live for You. Teach me to always humble myself before You; acknowledging that all my sufficiency and capability is only with Your help and enabling of the Spirit. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
