BE FREE

Freedom isn’t free, it always cost someone something!

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36

Nothing is free! The free light bulbs some people get cost someone. The free cheese that is given out cost someone. The free college cost someone. The free things you get for buying a extra value meal isn’t free, it’s included in the cost.

Not even salvation is free for it cost Jesus Christ His blood! It cost Him His life! It cost Him everything for He does everything in salvation! We get all the benefits of salvation if we live for Him! We get the benefit of being delivered from the wrath of God– Romans 5:9. We get the benefit of being delivered from condemnation – Romans 8:1 We get the benefit of being delivered from death and Hell – John 5:24 We get the benefit of being delivered from the power of sin – Romans 6:13-14 We get the benefit of being delivered from the power of Satan – 1 Peter 5:8

Have you been set free or are you still in the bondage of sin? You can be free and free indeed if you repent of your sin and trust Jesus Christ as Saviour!

BE FREE

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time. –Jefferson

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1

One of the founding factors in our country are these three Inalienable Rights every person has; Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These Inalienable Rights are the very thing in which many other Nations hate America for. Why, because they want control, corruption, and calamity. They want control of their people to do their bidding. They want corruption in order to fill their bank accounts. They want calamity because they know there is strength in a group of people set out for one goal. (Just ask Great Britain.)

The Inalienable Rights, like much in our government, were found in the Word of God. How did the Founding Fathers come up with such a brilliant contract of sorts? I believe many of them had tasted the freedom found in Christ and they knew the Scriptures. They knew what it meant to be free from sin and shame. They knew what it meant to chose. They knew what true liberty meant and wasn’t afraid to stand up for it.

How is your Spiritual stand? Are you standing in the freedom Jesus brought when you got saved? If not, maybe it’s time to open the Word of God and get busy reading to find out how to be FREE!

Free, Free, Free...I said FREE!

What we mean by salvation is this-deliverance from the love of sin, rescue from the habit of sin, setting free from the desire to sin. –Spurgeon

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1

This morning, I am reminded of the fact we are free from the grips of sin. Not by anything I have done but by His grace we have the power to say no. We have the power to choose right. We have the power to be delivered from temptation.

How is that preacher; when we yield our mind, our body, our will over to His. Consider this scripture: “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.” Galatians 5:16-17
