What does it mean to be a minister of the Spirit?

To be a minister of the Spirit, as highlighted in 2 Corinthians 3:6, is to proclaim the gospel in a manner that focuses on revealing Christ rather than merely teaching the letter of the law. This means that a minister’s role is to declare the good news of Jesus in such a way that believers experience the life-giving power of the Spirit. By facilitating encounters with Christ through the gospel, ministers can help believers shed their grave clothes—the remnants of the flesh—and grow in their relationship with God through the transformative power of grace.
