The Two Ministries

The ‘ministries’ in question are the ministry of the law and the ministry of the gospel, as set out by the apostle in 2 Corinthians 3. No passage in Scripture more clearly lays bare the contrast between these two ministries. And how needful is this today – when so many believers today are locked in some sort of hybrid between the two, a mixture of law and gospel, especially in the areas of assurance and sanctification,held there by the teaching of those I call ‘law mongers’. If they wish to be released from the bondage and grief that this inevitably brings, they should take on board Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 3. They could do no better. To this end, I publish this article.
