Tag: Bible verses about being free in Christ

John 8:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

True freedom in Christ is something that most of us have a hard time comprehending and walking out in our lives.

It’s a hard thing for us to grasp, being free… truly free.

Freedom has many different facets. It probably means different things to different people. But no matter what it might mean to you or someone else, Jesus wants us to walk in freedom each and every day.

To most people, when we think of freedom in Christ, we think of the fact that our faith in Jesus has set us free from eternal separation from God.

While that’s true, here’s what freedom really means in a deeper sense.

Freedom from death, with new life in Christ. Freedom from condemnation with God’s forgiveness. Freedom from guilt, with God’s mercy. Freedom from worrying, with God’s provision. Freedom from shame, with God’s grace. Freedom from sadness and depression, with God’s joy.

And there are so many other ways that God sets us free in Christ. But it’s important that we understand that freedom is not limited just to being forgiven for our sins. Freedom encompasses every aspect of our lives if we let it.

It’s up to us to let God teach us and show us how to live in this incredible freedom. Because if we don’t let Him teach us, we live in ignorance, carrying burdens that He never intended for us to carry.

Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
