2 Corinthiansಮಾದರಿ

Paul picks up on the imagery in Jeremiah in verses 1-3 of our chapter for this week. Jeremiah is looking to a time when God would make a new covenant with his people. Paul, in light of what Jesus has done, is encouraging the church in Corinth that this has now happened.

Because of the new covenant in Jesus, it is unnecessary to look for external affirmation but instead focus on internal transformation. As it says at the end of verse 3, the new covenant is “written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”
