The spirit of bondage is the nature and spirit of satan, the spirit of slavery. The Holy Spirit has set us free into the nature and spirit of God by becoming a part of the family of the Father.
Outwardly the flesh remains, but inwardly the reality is the opposite. The liberty that we have outwardly is curtailed to consciousness of His Holiness. While the outer bondage that the world inflicts is liberated inwardly by being in His glorious Presence.
Freedom is for serving Christ, while slavish ceremonies avail nothing to will neither the heart if the mind is not stayed on Him. They seek to sooth the conscience that His Holiness will be served in that way. His empowerment is freedom of spirit to serve the Living God in a living way.
Christ's new covenant has delivered us from satan's prison by Christ first descending and then ascending.
Ephesians 4:8-10 is a fulfillment of the prophesy of Psalms 68:18. There is no more fear of death and we are released from it's slavery.
Perfect Love, like that of our Father's as seen in 1 Corinthians 13, casts out all fear of offending Abba when we love in deed and truth. 1 John 3:18
God's chosen people had been under custody of the law, which Christ came to fulfill. God gives us His Spirit of Love and Life because we are His children, not because we are His lawkeepers. The Spirit of God is the FOCUS of the blessing of God's promise.
Literally, serve Him as priests.
The human spirit, regenerated and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, fans the flame of God's gift into a consuming fire in the whole person.
