Year theme - in his presence

the old covenant was good, the new is better by a thousand

the old says do good get good, do bad get bad

new trust in God and good is coming your way, you already have done bad so the good you get isn’t based on your own good that you have aspired to do or create but is based off God’s goodness which is a perfect goodness

Spirit

(ESV)

its this spirit that gives life, its this spirit that informs the rest of this verse,

going back to 2 cor, its this spirit that gives life, its this spirit that informs the rest of this verse,

Where this spirit is there is freedom

Freedom

liberty n. — personal freedom from servitude, confinement, or oppression.

People of his presence, people of his spirit, people of his freedom

not money

love, power, peace, grace, joy, patience, goodness,

why people of his presence

his life is the best life
