In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul makes a distinction between the Old Covenant and New Covenant, between the law and gospel. What is made clear is that the law cannot save anybody and was never intended to save anybody. All the law can do is point to our failure to keep it and earn is condemnation; it’s only because Jesus kept the whole law and was punished in our place that we can be made right before God. The law and the gospel are both necessary for our salvation.

It is a privilege and an honor to minister in the name of Christ. No person, in themself, is sufficient to preach the Word of God, so we must do so with great fear and humility. However, there are always false teachers we need to be aware of who seek to use the gospel to exalt themselves and deceive others.

In John’s gospel, Jesus time and again reveals the ugly reality of the Pharisees’ false religion. His response is always to plainly tell the truth, as well as offer hope. And no matter how much people may reject or revile us, we must do the same.
