Intro

2 Cor 3:1-5 “Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,
There is wishful thinking in Hell as well as on Earth. —C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
C. S. Lewis
What does “sufficiency from God” look like?
Many inhabitants of Corinth were prosperous, and “wealth and ostentatious display became the hallmark of Corinth.
David E. Garland
