(2Co 3:7) “But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:” “ministration of death”: the standard of which sinful man cannot reach. Therefore death, physical, spiritual, and eternal is the sentence upon each of us. Only repentance of life and faith in Jesus’ blood can save us from such a sentence.
