What does Paul mean by being ministers of the New Testament?
Answered in 1 source
Paul refers to ministers as those who preach the gospel of grace and life found in Jesus Christ.
In 2 Corinthians 3:6, Paul indicates that he and other ministers are made able by God to preach the New Testament, which is characterized not by mere letters that condemn but by the Spirit that gives life. Being ministers of the New Testament means delivering a message that emphasizes grace, hope, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Unlike the Old Covenant which highlighted human failure under the law, the New Testament highlights Christ as the fulfillment of the law and the source of salvation. Ministers are therefore called to proclaim this gospel message, inviting others to find life and hope in Christ, who has completed the work that the law could not accomplish.
