Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the
Lord is there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 3:17
We think of liberty as the ability and the right to do
whatever we want to do, but liberty in the Spirit is much more than doing what
we want, it is the right to be liberal with the grace of God and with the love
of Christ.
We become more merciful toward others and more sensitive
to the needs of others. We are less
narrow minded and better at seeing all sides of social issues. We are no longer trapped by our need to be
right and free to minister to those with whom we differ.
Liberty in Christ makes us better human beings and isn’t
that what God wants for us?
