2 Corinthians 3:17-18

With a crazy and hectic schedule, it is easy to forget the freedom we have in Christ. It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day activities that, without our realizing it, can enslave us.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 ~ "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

There are two things that stand out from these verses. The first being that we, as Christians, have the Spirit of the Lord dwelling in our souls. Because of this, we have freedom. Just think about that word. Freedom. How often do we let the things of this world control our thoughts, our feelings, our actions? But with Christ, we have freedom. Earthly stresses and anxieties have no place in our lives when we focus on the freedom we have in the Lord.

The second thing that stands out with these verses is how Paul tells us we reflect the Lord's glory and are being transformed into his image. This is something that is easily forgotten as we go through each day. We reflect Christ. He wants to transform us into his own image. How often do we push away from this? Do our actions reflect him? Are we truly allowing him to transform us? We should not be satisfied with who we are until we truly let go and understand that our life is about reflecting our Creator.
