Today is a perfect day to celebrate our freedom. The people of the United States went out yesterday and, because of their liberty, cast their votes for their favorite political candidates.
I wish to share some of the freedoms found in our Lord Jesus Christ; freedoms from and to:
From Guilt: Romans 8:1 NCV “So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty.”
From Shame: Romans 10:11 NIV “Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
From Fear of Death: 2 Timothy 1:10 NLT “And now he has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the good news.”
Bondage of Sin: Romans 6:14 NLT “Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead you live under the freedom of God’s Grace.”
Anxiety or Worry: Philippians 4:6 NLT “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
To be an Heir: Galatians 4:7 NLT “Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you an heir.”
To Enter the Gates of Heaven: John 14:1-3 NLT “ Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and trust in me. There is more than enough room in my father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.”
If you struggle with your freedoms in the Lord, talk to him about them, ask him to help you see and understand. If you need freedom from bondage, speak with him about deliverance. If you are afraid, talk your fears out with him. Whatever is going on in your world, both good and bad, remember, always, we have the freedom to approach the throne boldly. (Hebrews 4:16)
Start today in your freedom, talk to him, laugh with him, cry, be sad, or mad with him. You have the freedom to share a relationship with our Lord; make it yours, make it personal. That’s your given right. Be blessed, and thank you for joining me. 🥰
