2 Corinthians 3:17 Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty

2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 

This is a life rescued from bondage and slavery, the conscience no longer dominated by the guilt of sin. There is liberation from decay and corruption of sin through sanctification by God’s Word with the help of the Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit’s work in the believer’s life.

There is power in the transformed life, a life yielded to the Spirit’s leading, a life consecrated to the Lord’s glory.

Well With Constant Fresh Water – It is said that at St. Margaret’s Bay, in the southeast of England, there is a well that is always covered by the sea at high tide. Strangely enough, however, its waters remain fresh and pure, uncontaminated by the briny waters of the sea. Fed from the hills above, it has a constant supply of fresh water pouring into it, which effectively prevents the ocean from flowing in. [Tan, P. L. (1996).

May the Spirit enliven the devotions of the people of God finding fountains of living waters. Amen.
