The Holy Spirit of the Lord liberates us from the grip and power of sin, bondages we were subjected to prior to conversion. He is at work within us that result in our transformation. He is the Spirit of grace.

We have free access and beholding the Lord. Doing freely what they are led to do. We are being changed from glory to glory. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32) Knowing the Truth set you free.
