FREEDOM FROM BONDAGE
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. II Corinthians 3:17 NKJV
Jesus said that no one can come to Him, except the Father who sent Him draws them to Himself (John 6:44). This tells us, that we aren't in Christ simply because we found God by ourselves. No. We were drawn by Him. He brought us to Himself. Our being in Him is His mercy and grace at work in us.
The Bible says, when anyone turns to the Lord, the veil (of spiritual blindness, and lack of understanding to reality) is taken away. (2 Corinthians 3:16).Such that the individual becomes free to see the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
So man was in the bondage of death and corruption due to sin. But Christ came to deliver us from that bondage. But the Lord is that Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. So what did God do for us? He brought us to where the Spirit of the Lord is.
He drew us to Christ. When we came to Christ, we had come to the freedom from bondage. We had come to illumination and light. Because Christ is where the presence and reality of God is revealed. And God is wisdom, understanding, light and love and Life. God brought us into Himself, that we should partake in Him by His Spirit within us. Glory to God!
Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you, for you have drawn me to you, and have given birth to me to remain inside you. Now I live in wisdom, in light, in understanding, in love, in Life, in Christ. Glory to your Holy name in Jesus name. Amen.
