“So Christ has set us free. Now make sure that you
stay free...” – Galatians 5: 1
A FRIEND recently said Christianity took away too many options. “I can’t
do that, I have to do that, or else,” he said. Not true, buddy. Christ sets us
free. It costs us nothing – it’s free. God’s new covenant under Christ frees us
from sin and from the bonds of the past. With the Spirit of Christ comes freedom
to forgive, freedom to overcome human weakness, the freedom to love and freedom
from the desire to sin. You don’t have to try to abide by God’s laws; it comes
naturally. We are also freed from increasingly self-serving societal norms and
man-made religious flaws. A wise man once said that “freedom discovers man the
moment he loses concern over what impression he is making and stops seeking
human approval.” He sent His
Spirit to make our freedom last through patience, faithfulness and
self-control. Feel free to experience this joy.
