What does the Spirit of the Lord bring to us?

Back to Study the Book of Second Corinthians

The liberty of the new covenant, the liberty to serve God as we should, the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Because of the error of our day we must add that the liberty of the children of God is not freedom from the eternal moral law of God but freedom from the Levitical statutes. We are free from Moses that we may be married—married to Christ. Marriage to Christ is a far stricter law and government than ever could be true of the Law of Moses.

We have been set free also from the obligation to sin. But we must choose to serve righteousness. If we do not choose to serve righteousness we return to servitude to sin. There is no middle ground. If we return to servitude to sin, God will judge the sin, and the result is spiritual death.
