Freedom Over Bondage

     Sin brought death into the world. Sin holds us in bondage. And yet, while we were in sin, Christ died for us, and bore the pain and suffering we deserve.

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

     Sin no longer has power over you. Be free in the Spirit of God today. You are forgiven and loved forever.  You are free!

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

     We all know what it feels like to be held in bondage to sin. Worry and anxiety hold us in prison. Addiction holds us in chains. Fear and the inability to forgive eat away at our souls. We carry the weight as a heavy burden. Remove the chains! Give the burden to the One on the cross. He set you free; free from the yoke of slavery to sin.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.  Galatians 5:1

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Lord,
Help our unbelief. You set us free. Let us live in freedom. We are free indeed!
In Jesus name,
Amen
