Freedom In Christ

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

In his book “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”, Bruce A. Ware answers the question “What Is Freedom?”:

“Freedom is not what our culture tells us it is. Freedom is not my deciding, from the urges and longings of my sinful nature, to do what I want to do, when I want to do it, how I want to do it, with whom I want to do it. According to the Bible, that is bondage, not freedom.

Rather, true freedom is living as Jesus lived, for he is the freest human being who ever lived.
In fact, he is the only fully free human being who has ever lived, and one day we will be set free fully when we always and only do the will of God. So, what is freedom?

Amazingly, Jesus’ answer is this: Freedom is submitting—submitting fully to the will of God, to the words of God, and to the work that God calls us to do.”

There is liberty and freedom found in union with Jesus Christ.

Praise the Lord that in Him we have freedom.

“Man is really free only in God, the source of his freedom.” – Sherwood Eddy

“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” – John 8:31-32
