Freedom

     The free gift of forgiveness and salvation is almost impossible to believe, isn’t it? As human beings, we want to “do” something, to be good enough, to show ourselves worthy, to prove we deserve it. But there is absolutely nothing we can do. Our sin separates us from God and there is no way around sin. We were born into it.

     Keep reminding yourselves that you are free from any penalty of sin, as a believer in Jesus Christ. Once you believed, you were set free. It is finished. God no longer sees our sin. He sees the righteousness of Christ. Imagine that! Breath in freedom. Live out your life with great passion and hope and joy. You are saved forever and free from sin’s hold.

Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:12

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

     It is truth. And we are free indeed!

Lord,

There is no way to work ourselves into heaven. Only a sinless man has the privilege of being in the presence of a holy God. That sinless man is Your Son, Jesus. He has set us free forever and in His name we pray.

Amen
