"For freedom Christ has set us free, stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yolk of slavery"
What does freedom mean to you? Some may see freedom as the opportunity to do whatever they want. Others may say freedom is limited because people are responsible for how their words and actions infringe upon those of others. Teens may equate freedom with a driver's license. Still other may associate freedom with Declaration of Independence or Bill of Rights. Then there's the gospel.. The freedom to enter into a relationship with the Lord. Can you imagine going backward, though? No, 18 year old would readily surrender a driver's license. The United States would not return to British rule. Yet many of us still labor under the shackles of sin even though we already received the Lord's forgiveness.. We stand firm in freedom by living life obedient to His commands by faith in the Son of God, not by depending upon ourselves. Decide this year to truly accept the freedom from sin's power, which Jesus offered when He died on the cross. Don't go back to slavery. With God's help you can know the freedom of His grace.. I pray this will be the year you fully embrace freedom in Christ and all that it means. :)
