Living Epistles

You yourselves are our letter (Epistles), written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 2Cor 3:2-3

Lord Jesus Christ is our saviour and master of our hearts. We received Him as our Lord and saviour of our hearts by faith and we become children of God. We must live a life of children of Holy God. In our daily walk, talk, life, work and all the times and everywhere we must reflect Lord Jesus Christ through our lives.

He is the author and dictator of our lives. He has written each and every word on our hearts not with ink Like the ten commandments but with His Holy Spirit (Eze. 11:19; 36:26). We are far more valuable, and precious, and permanent than any record which could be made by ink. Tablets of stone were frail, and easily broken. There was no life in them. But we are living epistles or living letters of Lord Jesus Christ so other people may read us, experience and see Lord Jesus Christ in and through our lives (Ephesians 2:10).

Lord Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins, transgression, weaknesses to make us holy and worthy before God. In the same manner we must also crucify our own fleshly desires or lust, pleasures of the eyes and pride of the heart (1 Jn. 2:16) and live a new life which is pleasing to Him.

God has given us His Holy Spirit as wonderful Counselor and Helper. Allow Holy Spirit to take control of your lives. So with the power of Holy Spirit we can deny our fleshly desires, pleasures of the eyes and pride of the heart and live a life of living Epistles. Lord Jesus Christ wants to speak through us. He wants to address other people through us.

May God bless you.
