The Pursuit of liberty

(1Co 15:55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1Co 15:56) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. (1Co 15:57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(2Co 3:14-17) But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
