You may have heard the expression, “living letters of Christ.” But what does it mean to be a living letter?
Let’s think of what a letter (or email if-you-will) is. A letter has an author and a recipient and bears information. It is written or typed and delivered either physically or electronically. In most cases, when the recipient receives and reads the letter or email, he/she replies back.
So what does the Apostle Paul mean when he writes to the believers in Corinth, “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” (2Cor. 3:3)?
