Today, research in the recent history of believers experiences, shows that more people are drawn to the faith by the witness of actual events, rather than by doctrines and quoting of Scriptures! The 1st Century Ekklesia (the ones called out, the many-membered body of Christ), referred to as church did not have a New Testament, they were the New Testament and as such, they turned the local world upside down after the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost! The Spirit brought to their remembrance every word that Christ ever spoke to them!
As the disciples spoke His words to one another, ate and digested them, they became the Scriptures. The disciples then spoke these words that are spirit and life to all who would give an ear to hear.
2 Corinthians 3: 2,3 Paul says to the people of Corinth, “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all people, revealing yourselves, that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts.” Living Epistles are here today to speak a Word that reveals Christ to hungry hearts.
