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.
