He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant - not
of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the
Spirit gives life.

--2 Corinthians 3:6
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
A new covenant -- God willingly entered into a new agreement
with us, his creatures, sealed it with the blood of his Son
Jesus, and sent the Spirit to give us the power to live the
life of this new covenant. God has made a covenant of love and
grace with us. The Almighty has then turned around and made us
worthy and competent to share that covenant with others. Now
wonder it is life-giving: it brings life to us and through us!
