TOPIC: Liberty In Christ
TEXT: 1 Corinthians 3:12-18(NKJV)
12. Now if anyone builds on this foundation [with] gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13. each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
- If anyone’s work which he has built on [it] endures, he will receive a reward.
- If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
- Do you not know that you are the temple of God and [that] the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which [temple] you are.
- Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
STUDY: In Exodus 34:29-35, when Moses spent a lengthy time in the presence of
God to receive the Ten Commandments again on two tablets of stone, the glory of God rubbed off on him and was reflected on his face but he never knew this.
From the reaction of the people, he learnt what had happened and decided to use a veil to cover his face anytime he wished to address the people. According to verse 16 of our text, “Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” This glory reflected on Moses’ face signified that the old dispensation fades but the glory from Christ in the new order is permanent. This gives one liberty (v.17).
When Christians behold constantly Christ’s divine glory, this transforms them from glory to glory (v.18).
Where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty. When one is in Christ, he feels free to worship God. All limitations and restrictions are removed by Christ. Nobody needs to legislate to you to do this or that. The Spirit of God in the Christian will guide and direct one in day-to-day affairs of the person.
The Law of Moses is good but grace in Christ is better. Paul asked the Galatians in Galatians 3:3 that having started in the Spirit, why would they go back to the flesh. Let us apply this liberty wisely (Gal. 5:13).
PRAYER: Prayer: Dear Lord, having been set free in Christ, grant me the grace to ever remain free.
Daily Fountain Quote of the Day
1 Peter 2:9-10: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”
