I Am: the freedom to change

I Am: the freedom to change by ric gustafson


II Corinthians 3:17- ' Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom'.


Because we are christians, we try hard to be righteous in God's eyes. We feel insecure because we know that we deserve punishment. This passage from Corinthians states that where the Spirit is, there is freedom. According to the Apostle Paul, this is the law of sin and death. When God created Adam and Eve, they had unhindered communion with God. When they sinned, self centeredness entered their hearts.
Grace is that we have God's favor when we do not deserve it. God accepts us unconditionally and as is. The freedom to change will come when we thirst after the Spirit, focus on Jesus, this will bring obedience. God alone gives us the power to change, the desire to change and the freedom to change.
