2 Corinthians 3:5-6,17-18 Our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life…Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

There is enormous freedom in allowing God to do the changing of our inner lives!

Galatians 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 

You are free to love!

To some people freedom means ‘selfishness with no consequences’. If that were the case, freedom would quickly become ugly as people rode roughshod over everyone around them.

Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Do not allow yourself to slip back into a life that is driven by the expectations of others!

John 8:31-32 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

The truth in God’s word is freeing!

That statement might seem a little odd to you. Your perspective of the Bible might be that it doesn’t bring freedom at all. Instead, you might see the Bible as legalistic and constricting. If so, then you’ve probably not been taught God’s word in a healthy way.
