Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galations 5:1
Christ died to set us free.
Free indeed, I am.
Not free to do as I want.
But free to live unselfishly and free from bondage of sin.
That is true freedom.
I am not sure why so many chose to live in bondage. They do though. I remember when I first became a Christian. It took me a year or two to finally understand that God totally forgave me of any wrong I had ever done, or ever will do. That is freedom! That is grace. That is mercy...
My sweet Savior died for me. He forgave me.
He wants to do the same for you.
You won't find freedom in a girlfriend.
Or a boyfriend.
Or being homosexual.
Or being a drunk.
Or a druggie.
Or a liar.
Or a gossiper.
You won't find freedom even by living a good and clean life.
You must come to know Christ by admitting your sins to Him.
Recognizing you're a sinner.
And turning from your sinful ways.
You must die to yourself.
Die to your flesh.
It isn't a one time thing.
Each day I have to wake up and decide to die out to my flesh.
I can't let jealousy control me.
I can't let hatred control me.
I can't let anger control me.
I can't let finances control me.
I can't let people control me.
I can't let even my husband control me.
I have to let GOD control me.
And so do you.
You must let go of your past.
You must let go of yesterday.
You must let go of what someone said about you last week, or last year, or thirty years ago.
You won't ever live in freedom until you do.
CHRIST HATH MADE US FREE
Christ.
The One.
The Only.
The Messiah.
Hath made.
Not, "will make," He HATH MADE.
Us.
You.
Me.
Plus everyone else on the planet.
Free.
Without cost or payment.
Not under control.
Jesus made me and you free!
Does that excite anyone else?!
We are free from bondage.
FREE FROM SLAVERY OF SIN.
Amen.
Memorize that verse.
I am going to.
You are free, my child.
Live.
Breath.
Be
FREE.
