| Where is “the Spirit of the Lord” in this present day? For “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” He is in us who have believed on Christ as Saviour, all of us. “What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” This is in fulfillment of our Lord’s promise that “I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth,” and “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.” And the Spirit in us gives us “liberty,” even freedom from sin’s dominion, from the yoke of the law, and from self-centeredness. “Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” Our Lord Jesus said that “if ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” “But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to them that are weak.” |
