Solid Ground: 2 Cor life-study (Meeting) - The Ministers of the New Covenant (1)

2Co 3:3 Since you are being manifested that you are a letter of Christ ministered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone but in tablets of hearts of flesh.

2 Co 3:4 And such confidence we have through Christ toward God,

2 Co 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God,

*sufficient - or, competent, qualified, fit, worthy. The apostle's sufficiency comes from his knowing God inscribing on him as every letter.  

Christ is every alphabet - I am the Alpha and Omega. 

Paul knows Christ as alpha, beta... etc. - he knows Christ as every letter. 

Writing this letter with ink (oil) - that is we need to be filled with Christ, the life-giving Spirit
