Chapter 17: OPEN YOURSELF TO A NEW FREEDOM
“The Holy Spirit is a wild, unpredictable character.” (from a book by Hauerwas and Wilimon.
If the Spirit can be called wind, then the Spirit is unpredictable, invisible, uncontrollable, omnicompetent, and sovereign.”
“This biblical statement may be the most radical news about the Holy Spirit: “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” When we are open to direct access to God through the Spirit, we discover at least three new freedoms.”
A FREEDOM TO BE WHO CREATED YOU TO BE.
A FREEDOM TO BECOME. “The most radical statement that connects the Spirit to freedom is followed up with a note of transformation. “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
