We all might have our own ideas and thoughts about what are the most important qualities. But the Bible devotes several chapters to the subject in the book of 2 Corinthians and it&#8217;s there that we see several items that we likely would never have even considered.<\/p>\n<p>First, the ministers must be those that are constituted with the life giving and transforming Spirit as chapter 3. This means that they are full of Christ and therefore able to minister this very Christ into people.<\/p>\n<p>Second, as we will see today in chapter 4. They are those who conduct themselves in such a way that the glory of the gospel of Christ might shine through them and out from within them. In other words, their goal should not be just to preach the gospel, but to allow the gospel in its glory to be shined out through them for other to see. Oh, how we Christians today need such healthy, heavenly ministers.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"2 Corinthians (Program #9)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-05-02T06:20:22-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"2 Corinthians (Program #9) - The Ministers of the New Covenant (2)\r\n\r\nWhat should be the important criteria or qualities to be a genuine and proper minister of the gospel of the New Testament?
