Tag: What the Bible says about being free in Christ

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 – 8-29-15

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

Jesus came to set us free.

He died and rose again to set us free from sin, sickness, death and much more.

If we have put our faith in Christ, we don’t need to live as slaves to sin.

Sin doesn’t have to have power over us. And the only way that it will have power over us is if we let it.

Every day we will be tempted with things that can cause us to sin. Lust, theft, gossip, lying, adultery, fornication and a whole list of other things that can come our way at any moment.

But we don’t have to give in to those things. We can walk away from them. We just have to want to. We have to want to do the right thing. We have to want to make the right choice. We have to want to please God instead of pleasing our fleshly desires.

And if we truly want to do the right thing, God will give us the strength to do it.

It won’t always be easy, and there will be times when we mess up. But if our heart is in the right place, and we make a genuine effort to turn our lives around and live a godly life, God will honor that effort.

And, over time, we will find ourselves making way more right choices than wrong ones.
