Are You Christ's Love Letter?

Did you know that Christ-followers are letters?

“You show that you are a letter from Christ… written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”  
2 Corinthians 3:3

God wrote His laws on tablets of stone (Exodus 31:18), but He doesn't write on hearts of stone.

Instead, He writes on repentant, converted hearts (Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 36:26).

Christ-followers are:

♥ Letters of recommendation...
for those who brought us to the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:1-2).(1)

♥ Letters of emancipation...
from our slavery to sin (John 8:36).

♥ Letters of adoption...
as sons and daughters of God (Romans 8:15).

♥ Letters of clemency...
from a death sentence we deserve (Romans 6:23).

♥ Letters of hope...
to a lost and dying world (1 Corinthians 1:18-25).

♥ Love letters...
from our Savior (Ephesians 2:4-5).

Jesus is the Word, and, if you know Jesus, you are His letter 
(John 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:18).

Wow!

(1) Paul tells the Corinthians that they are letters written on his heart because he led them to the Lord. Isn't that a sweet blessing?
