Bible Note: Hi JMScott, I looked at 2 Corinthians 3 and 1 Timothy 3:16 and found a contrast that relates to the concern for you that I have along with Hank. I think that you should consider these to know how you should conduct yourself in the household of God and consider just where your confidence is coming from. 2 Corinthians 3:4, "And such *confidence we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life...how shall the ministry of the Spirit/ fail to be even more with glory?" 1 Timothy 3:13, "For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a high standing and great *confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus....I write so that you may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. And by common confession great is the mystery of godliness: He who[God]was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory." Is your faith in Christ Jesus? Is your confidence through Christ toward God? 2 Corinthians 2:14, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in His triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of (Him) in every place." Hebrews 8:11, "And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, And everyone his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' For all shall know (Me), From the least to the greatest of them." Hebrews 8:6, "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as (He) is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises." Don't think that you are going to overturn everything that we have been taught by the word of God. From the heart, Ray |
