2 Corinthians 3:2, 3 says that we are Christ's epistles known and read of men. Our lives are letters written not with ink, but through the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. The New Testament provides us with the Gospel accounts according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Moreover we are presently living in the book of Acts because it is a continuous narrative. Therefore we write the fifth Gospel with our lives. We must give our personal accounts to the goodness and the faithfulness of the Lord. We live by grace under the law of Christ, and consequently our lives should be letters of the love, grace and mercy of God. We are the message of God to a lost and dying world. Therefore it is crucial that we keep ourselves in the love of God. In doing so, we will always exhibit the love of Christ and the fruit of the Spirit, maintaining our souls through self control. In showing forth the awesome love of God, we show His character and His nature. We demonstrate to the world the need to be totally focused and reliant upon the Lord.
We are the messages of God; faithful or unfaithful, loyal or disloyal.
