But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
There is freedom, freedom from what? The word is meaningless unless I understand and accept what I am being freed from? First and foremost I have been freed from the penalty that my sin demanded. The Lord Jesus, the Christ paid it all. I am free. Secondly, I have been freed from the temptation to sin. The Spirit, in writing the Law upon my heart, has given me the power to choose not to sin. (Jeremiah 31:33)
