Bible Verse of The Day – 4-29-20

Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Stand fast: Remain where you are. Don’t stray. Don’t wander. Don’t leave where you are.

All of these indicate that if we are in Christ, we need to stay put, not wandering from where we are.

We have been given salvation, liberty, and freedom from the bondage of the law and of the flesh, by God’s grace.

By this salvation, Christ has made us free!

Never again should we be entangled, enslaved or burdened by the yoke of bondage, manmade religion and rituals, with its rules, laws and burdens.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could brush off what He did and tangle ourselves up in the bondage of religion.

On the contrary, He died to set us free from these types of entanglements.

The verse above was written by Paul, warning Christians of that time not to allow themselves to become tied up in the Jewish law.

In today’s times, there is even more that we can get caught up in, causing us to forget what Jesus did for us, and, more importantly, why He did it.

He died not only to save us from our sinful selves, but also to allow us access to the Father, without having to jump through hoops to obtain that access.

Stand fast, and do not be entangled again.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-18

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.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-17

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

True freedom can only be found in one source; Jesus Christ.

If you have put your faith and trust in Jesus, you are free. Period. You can’t get anymore free than to be a child of the King and a joint heir with Christ!

The enemy will try to convince us that we are still in chains, bound by our sins, past and present. But the truth is that Jesus breaks the chains, once and for all.

So if we’re feeling condemned, stuck, bound, discouraged, or any other things that might try to keep us from moving forward with God, we need to remember Who it is that we are placing our faith and hope in.

He died for all of us, and His completed work is all we need to overcome death, hell and the grave, now and for eternity.

Romans 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

So lift your head. Look to heaven and thank Him for all He has done and all He is still going to do for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-16

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Do you have things in your past that you’re not proud of? Do those things sometimes try to come back to torment you or remind you of who you used to be, before you put your faith in Christ?

Sometimes those things can really work on our minds, trying to make us feel guilty, condemned or worthless. They can even make us feel like we’re at risk of missing out on eternity with our heavenly Father.

But don’t listen to any of it! These are lies from the enemy. He will play games with our minds, trying to make us believe that we’re never going to live up to God’s standards. He will make us feel like less than we are as children of God.

But we’re here to remind you today, right this minute, that you’re free, in the name of Jesus.

You’re free from guilt. You’re free from condemnation. You’re free from death, hell and the grave.

Jesus made sure of this when He took our place on the cross, dying a cruel death. And He sealed the deal when He rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

So don’t let the whispers of the enemy torment you any longer. Turn your back on him and walk away, once and for all. Remind yourself that you have been bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

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

Go! And be free in the name of Jesus!
