OUR FREEDOM

Romans 3:23-24
“….all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God. They are justified freely by his grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus…”
-------------------------------------------------

We always think we are a slave to something or someone. That we are a slave to our work. That we are a slave to our family. That, we are a slave to our community.

So, with this thinking, we always struggle to break free. We always want to come out and experience that freedom we think we deserve. But, it is the wrong thinking that kept as bondaged in the first place. If we would only free up our mind from these evil mindset, then we can truly be free.

The same is true with sins. We always think that we are sinful people, so the more we commit sins.

So, free up your mind… resist temptation…
receive the Lord…
love Him and dedicate your life in His service...
Only then would you truly be free.

Through Christ, we are free to live as God created us to live, because Christ through the Holy Spirit gives us the power to live righteously, to live a life that reflects the very character of God.

Freedom is rooted in the love of one’s neighbor. Freedom is rooted in doing good for others. So Christ has truly set us free! Are you still lingering in the past and remain in bondage in sins? Free yourself, and choose Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, thank you for your Word and the instruction it contains for our very benefit. I pray, Lord, that you would unleash the Holy Spirit in all of our hearts this week and begin to show us where we’ve fallen into believing false teaching and have taken on the yoke of slavery. Lord Jesus, you have come to set us free. Help us to live in that freedom. In Jesus’ Name, Amen +

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.
