The Letter Kills—but the Spirit Gives Life | 2 Corinthians 3

What does the Bible mean when it says, “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”? In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul contrasts external religion with the life-changing work of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Nate Cate teaches through the entire chapter of 2 Corinthians 3, examining the difference between the old and new covenants, laws written on stone and God’s truth written on human hearts, the veil of spiritual blindness, and the freedom found in Jesus Christ. This chapter answers several important questions: • What does it mean to be a “living letter” of Christ? • Why does Paul say the letter kills but the Spirit gives life? • What was the veil over Moses’ face meant to represent? • What does “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” mean? • How does the Holy Spirit transform believers “from glory to glory”? Christianity is more than religious activity, rule-keeping, or outward appearances. When someone turns to Jesus Christ, the veil is removed, the Holy Spirit brings life, and genuine transformation begins from within.
