“你们就是我们的荐信，写在我们的心里，被众人所知道所念诵的。”
哥林多后书 3:2
“You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;”
2 Corinthians 3:2
In response to false teachers who wanted to discredit his message (see 2 Cor. 11), Paul encouraged the church in Corinth to keep on following the true and living God as he had previously taught. In doing so, he memorably described the believers as Christ’s letter, with their transformed lives a more powerful witness to the Spirit working through Paul’s ministry than any written letter could be.
How wonderful that God’s Spirit in us writes a story of grace and redemption! For as meaningful as written words can be, it is our lives that are the best witness to the truth of the gospel, for they speak volumes through our compassion, service, gratitude, and joy.
Through our words and actions, the Lord spreads His life-giving love. What message might you send today?
