Manifesting God’s Spiritual Love Brings True Freedom

The Bible is God’s will for us and are beautifully put together. Paul’s letters, for example, give teaching, reproof, and correction. You see that in “triads” like Romans-Corinthians-Galatians and Ephesians-Philippians-Colossians. Let’s look at this first group and see how God’s spiritual love in us brings true freedom when we manifest it, show if forth with power.

Romans begins by showing that we can walk by the spirit, demonstrating God’s power. That makes us free, and nothing can separate from God’s love to us in Christ.

Romans 8:1,2,37-39:
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, WHO WALK not after the flesh, but AFTER THE SPIRIT.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath MADE ME FREE from the law of sin and death.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM THAT LOVED US.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.

Paul wrote the church in Corinth to help them better live these truths from Romans. He taught them about nine specific ways to demonstrate God’s spiritual power. The key to this power being effective is to have it flow from God’s love in us. We will know true freedom because God’s love will never fail us.

1 Corinthians 12:7-11:
But the MANIFESTATION [shining forth, demonstration] OF THE SPIRIT is given to every man to profit withal.
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
But all these WORKETH THAT one and the selfsame SPIRIT, dividing to every man severally as he will.

1 Corinthians 13:4,8:
Charity [God’s love] suffereth long [is patient], and is kind….
CHARITY NEVER FAILETH.

Paul also wrote a letter to church in Galatia. They had forgotten about the freedom that comes from walking in love and showing forth God’s spiritual power. He reminded them of the blessings that come from a powerful walk with the Father.

Galatians 5:1,13,25:
Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY WHEREWITH CHRIST HATH MADE US FREE, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

Let’s spend each day rejoicing in God’s love to us through Christ, and showing others the freedom available when we walk by the Father’s spirit in us.
