2Co3

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. - v17 Freedom is not the ability to do as we want, but rather, the power to do as we should. Freedom to not be a slave to sin, but rather, a slave to righteousness. The Lord is Spirit and by His Spirit we can actually live in a manner that is pleasing to God. Without His Spirit, we a hopeless and helpless to do anything that brings glory to God.

Paul was confident that the Spirit of God lived in the Corinthians and commended them with his letter. In fact, he said to them, "you are our letter of commendation". His ministry was evidenced in their lives. His work was written on their hearts. They were being changed to be more obedient to Christ.

Are there people who you could write that are looking to you as their spiritual mentor? Is there anyone that would commend you to God with their life? As believers we should be constantly pouring our lives out so that others can know Jesus and grow in a greater understanding of Him. It is a challenge and a life worth living.

Consider helping others know and and obey Jesus today.
