Freedom
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Something about America is very different than a lot of places in this world, and that is the freedom we all experience as citizens of the United States. Now some people might say the freedoms we have are not really freedoms, but I beg to differ. I met with a man this week who reminded me that the Bill of Rights were written not so many years ago and they were written with the guidance of a divine hand. Some might say what are you talking about, but look at the fact that we have freedom of religion along with many other things. If God is who He says he is, and this scripture points to the fact that with the Spirit of the Lord is freedom, then of course His hand was involved. These freedoms from sin, freedom from the enemy and freedom to worship God are all tied together. And as we grow with the Spirit of the Lord in us, we are being transformed as the scripture states and with that comes the ultimate glory. So remember, the true freedom we have is just not in the Bill of Rights, but it lives in us.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
