God Gives us Freedom–Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:17

God Gives us Freedom

2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (NIV, 1984).

The Apostle Paul discusses that without God there is no freedom.  To me the Apostle Paul is saying if you want freedom then you must believe in God and worship God.  God is the only one to truly give humanity its freedom.  We should be thankful for the Lord giving us freedom, or he could smite us and wipe us from existence if it were not God giving us our freedom to do right or do wrong.  To worship or not worship.  Remember through his Word alone was the existence of creation.  That is how powerful God is.  If we put our trust in His Son whom He sent to pay for our sins, we will have freedom to live throughout eternity on the New Heaven and New Earth once Jesus Christ comes back.
