The Constant Gosple

2Cor 3:3 "Written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshey tables of the heart"
I thought this was a neat way of talking about our relationship with our father in heaven and our lives with the gosple. What stuck out to me is the words "fleshey tables of the heart"; because flesh heals, wounds heal, and cuts and briuses are forgoten. So what it made me think about was how the gosple is an everyday thing, it is not a once a week thing but all the week through. As our relationship with God will weaken a become as naught if we do not take care of if each and everyday.
We have the opportuinity each week to partake of the sacrament and reinscrible our love and commitment to our Savior and Heavenly Father, But in order to do that each week we not only need to addend sacrament meeting but also have our heart in it, turned to God.
Living the gosple is a act, an act that if done drives our faith down solid, holds our hearts fast and true, but if not perfromed will let us go down other paths that do not lead to eternal joy. It is our chocie to hold the love of god in our hearts or to turn from it.

I really love this scripture. Thanks for sharing it, Jake. I think it's so beautiful that the scripture talks about writing with the Spirit of God. It is such a testimony of the eternal nature of the gospel.
