Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made
us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1
Freedom, there is nothing free about it. The cost of human
life is tremendous. Even today, military and civilians put their lives on the line
to protect and defend this great nation. As a citizen of the United States, we
have a lot to be thankful for and praising God that He continues to watch over
our country and its leadership.
As a Christian, you have the freedom from sin and its yoke
of bondage. Sin is of the world and when you entertain any aspect of sin, you
fight the battle against God. Your citizenship is in Heaven, not earth, and
your life should reflect the characteristics of Christ in your daily life.
Yesterday I spoke about temptation and the need to exit yourself from the room
when it comes round. Allowing temptation to capture your attention and
following through with it hinders the work of Christ in your life and the impact
you have on others. Don’t sacrifice your freedom for a cheap thrill.
Jesus Christ gave His life so you can have a life. Live it
to the fullest in Christ and bring freedom home to those around you! Happy
Independence Day! God bless America!
