Henrietta Mears - The teachers of Jewish law of Paul's day carried letters of introduction with them. They were Paul's chief troublemakers. They tried in every way to fight him. We hear them asking, "Who is this Paul?" "What letters of recommendation from Jerusalem does he have?" How foolish this question was to Paul! Did he need a letter of recommendation to a church he himself had established? He answers, "You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody" (2 Cor. 3:2). The lives of true Christians at Corinth served as letters to recommend both Paul the servant and Christ the Lord. Living epistles are read when Bible Epistles are not. Remember your life is an open letter. Christian lives are about the only religious books the world reads. They do not study God's Word, but they do study God's people. This gives us a great opportunity for good, for we may lead people to Christ. Tablets (4109) plax refers to “anything flat or broad,” such as gold plates, land, even tombstones (Liddell-Scott). Any flat, broad surface, as a plain, the sea, a mesa, a tableland. In the NT flat stone to inscribe on, tablet; plural, of stones engraved with the law tables, tablets. In the NT, generally, a flat stone on which inscriptions could be made, a table, tablet of wood or stone for inscriptions as the two tables of the decalogue given to Moses. Liddell-Scott - "a flat surface, flat land, a plain, Aesch.; the ocean-plain, Pind.; Eur.: the flat top of a hill, table-land, Soph. 2. a flat stone, tablet" In Hebrews 9:4 it has the literal sense of stone tablets (cf. Ex 32:19; Dt 9:17), the tablets on which the finger of God wrote the Ten Commandments (Ex 31:18+). The only other use is 2Co 3:3 (used twice) figuratively describing the fleshly tables of the heart upon which the Holy Spirit writes "written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." (cf. Jer 31:31-34; Ezek 36:26). Thus by the new covenant the Law is not external but internalized by the Holy Spirit in the individual.

The Spirit of Christ turns a person to the Lord Jesus Christ, taking the veil from their heart so that they can "see" Christ in the New Covenant (cf Acts 26:18+), at the same time bringing them into the broad pastures of spiritual liberty in Christ. The false teachers at Corinth were apparently holding forth the Law as the way to change one's life (cf Gal 3:3+), but Paul teaches that it is only the Spirit of the Lord Who can transfer one from a life of legalistic bondage and into a life of liberty. Freedom (liberty) is not the right to do as you please But the power to do as you should! Paul describes this liberty declaring "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free (eleutheroo) from the law (the principle) of sin and of death." (Ro 8:2+)....For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again (contrast the reaction of the sons of Israel in Ex 34:29), but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God (Ro 8:15, 16+)...."Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave (bondage), but a son (liberty); and if a son, then an heir through God." (Ga 4:6, 7+) “Give me liberty, or give me death!” -- Patrick Henry THOUGHT - Christ's death has purchased our liberty. Are you living fully in the freedom of the Holy Spirit? Or are you still trying to live the Christian Life in your own strength? (SEE progressive sanctification; Filled with His Spirit/Richly Indwelt with His Word; The Holy Spirit-Walking Like Jesus Walked!) Allow the green light of grace to shine brighter than the amber light of caution or the red light of don’t.| -- Charles Swindoll The Holy Spirit. He is the source of power. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17). Where He works – there is fruit. Vance Havner - The Liberty of the Lord 2 Corinthians 3:17. Of course we must understand this to mean, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is in control, there is liberty." He indwells every believer, but not every believer has come out into the glorious liberty of the children of God. He is present in the churches, even where two or three gather in Christ's Name (ED: IN TRUTH WHERE ONE IS PRESENT, HE IS PRESENT), but often He is hindered. He is often resident where He is not president! But wherever He is recognized and obeyed there is no longer a spirit of bondage (ED: AS UNDER THE OLD COVENANT). In church history the great revival periods have been the blessed liberations in which the Spirit has loosed all bonds and the church has recovered her early freedom. In local churches, what glorious liberty follows when the Spirit is Lord! Read How Christ Came To Church and transformed both A. J. Gordon (ONE BIO) and his Boston pastorate. And the individual Christian "gets loose" only when he is controlled by the Spirit. "Lord" and "liberty" may seem contradictory, but the free man is a controlled man. He has the liberty of the Lord. We have "deliberations" aplenty these days, but what we need is liberation! F B
