Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, emancipation from bondage, freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17
Jesus came to this earth for one reason, to set us free. This freedom is sometimes misunderstood. Being free doesn't mean that we are free to do whatever we feel like doing, instead it means that we have been set free from legalism so that we can follow the lead of the Holy Spirit.
The legalistic mentality is what plagues our current society and it says that everybody has to do exactly the same things, the same way, all of the time. This conflicts with the Spirit of God who leads us as individuals in unique and creative ways.
Jesus wants us to be free-free from sin, free from being manipulated and controlled, free from trying to be better than others, free from addictions and dependencies, and last but not least, free to be who you are!
