What is meant by the New Testament ministry?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament ministry refers to the work of proclaiming the gospel based on the finished work of Christ, devoid of human merit.

The New Testament ministry signifies a theological shift from the old covenant, which depended on human actions, to a new covenant founded on the completed work of Christ. In 2 Corinthians 3:5-9, this ministry of righteousness reveals that salvation is not based on what individuals do but wholly on what Christ has accomplished. This leads to a ministry characterized by grace, where believers rejoice in the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice and righteousness, and ministers proclaim the gospel as a free gift of grace. Thus, the New Testament ministry embodies the reconciliation of God with man through Christ.
