Join Pastor Stuart as we continue in our new series, Freedom!
In our second lesson, we turn to the Apostle Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 3:1-18 as we learn about . . . "The Spirit of Freedom". In this lesson, we see:
- Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
- The Spirit gives freedom from the law as law.
- The “law as law” can be summarized as “Meet the demand or else face the penalty.”
- Instead of relating to the law as law, the Spirit gives us freedom to relate to the law as a coach guiding and training us.
- Since the Spirit resides in those who believe, we have this freedom.
- Therefore, for those who believe, by the work of the Spirit, we ought to work to see God’s law as a coach training us in what it means to be more like Jesus.
- And, for those who do not yet believe, by the work of the Spirit, you can turn to Christ who will free you from the law as law.
- So, let’s find true freedom in Christ by the work of the Spirit.
