2 CORINTHIANS 3
1 Outline
2 Corinthians
THERE IS
Imagine being given a
check for a million dollars and never cashing it.
Imagine having a freezer
and cupboard full of food and never eating.
Imagine dangling
precariously on a rope when there is a ladder within your grasp.
Imagine living a life of
defeat and despair when there is no reason to do so.
"And where the
Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
If you read 2 Corinthians
3 you will discover that God does not want us under the bondage of law keeping
or self-effort. Instead He wants us to have the freedom of the Holy Spirit
working in our lives. Because the Holy Spirit is present within us, all we need
to do is reach for it by faith. We live such self-defeating lives that God
never intended us to live.
I want to share with you
some of the freedoms we have as a result of the working of the Holy Spirit. We
just need to appropriate these truths by faith.
