Now, the Lord is that spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. In the Greek, that's emancipation, freedom. Now, we were slaves to sin, weren't we? In our natural state, we've been emancipated from that condition. Isn't that amazing? Through the blood and righteousness of Christ, his perfect sin atoning work, The God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, has saved us from all our sins through the shedding of his blood.
