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
One of the gifts God
gave His children is free will. Despite what many believe, Christians have the
freedom to live their life, not as robots, but under the grace of God and
forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. It’s not a
free ticket to sin, but to live without the guilt of sin and fear of eternal
separation from God.
This freedom came
with a price, the painful crucifixion of Jesus Christ. As a child of God, you
should live your life in such a way that is pleasing to the Lord, by avoiding
sinful behaviors and confessing when you do wrong. It’s a continual cleansing
process, but thankfully there is no shortage of Jesus blood to wash you clean!
Staying untangled
from the bondage of sin, keeps you free under the grace of Jesus Christ to live
the life He wills for you. Appreciation for God’s gift should be the reason for
your commitment to live unhindered by the bondage of sin. God bless!
