Finding Freedom

Today’s reading: 2 Corinthians 3

'For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.' - 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Since 1905, the Indianapolis Star has printed verse 17 on the top of their newspapers.

How are we to keep law and order in our world today? How do we motivate people to abide by the law? The Law of Moses only revealed the Israelites' inability to live up to its standards.

True freedom isn't found in trying to finally play by all the rules. True freedom is found by being covered with the blood of Jesus, resulting in our forgiveness. Then we enter into the process of sanctification, where God draws us closer daily.

Colin Kruse says it so well: "The demands of the law cannot be fulfilled, and therefore they stand under its condemnation. But under the covenant of the Spirit, there is liberty."
