Frank Guglielmo – 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
The Trinity is a revelation of our one God consisting of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Through the Spirit of God and Jesus within us we are able to interact with God.
With the Spirit within us we are now freed!
Freed to conquer sin. Freed to obey God. Freed to proclaim the gospel. Freed to live for Hm. Freed to worship Him. Freed to live and grow. Freed to love because God loved us first.
Frank Guglielmo – 2 Corinthians 3:14-18
For a very long time the nature of man has been addicted to blindness.
Judaism as seen today is founded on the Pharisees.
The Talmud authored by the Pharisees is required to explain the book of Moses.
The reason Jews don’t believe in Christ is because they follow the Telmud which denies Christ as Saviour.
The same gospel saves everyone in the world the same way.
Our desire and prayer should be as written in Romans 10:1 “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”
Frank Guglielmo – 2 Corinthians 3:12-16
The New Testament is more glorious the the Old Testament as it contains the gospel, that is the good news! The Old Testament only points to something to come, the New Testament shows us the manifestation of God through Jesus.
We do not follow the commandments to be saved, Jesus is the only door to salvation!
Jesus fulfilled the law and only used the law to show us we were sinners and needed Him.
If you are on a different road you are on the wrong road! Fear and following rules do not change you only the gospel will transform us to be like Jesus.
Frank Guglielmo – 2 Corinthians 3:1-11
Letters of commendation have been in place for a long time. For example John wrote a good report on Demetrius in 3 John and Paul on Onesimus in Philemon.
In the second letter to the Corinthians Paul is writing a letter of commendation about himself.
God alone can make us sufficient to serve Him.
Without Christ we are never sufficient.
Christ strengthens us.
We need the grace of God every day.
Let Christ be our inspiration and example. He is our glory!
