Freedom

Webster defines freedom as the quality or state of being free.

Free means not to be imprisoned or tied down. Freedom is the state of being free or living free. When we think of prison, we usually visualize a cell with bars and guards patrolling the halls. But there are other kinds of prison. Many people live in spacious and comfortable homes with all the perks, but they are still in prison. And others serving prison terms behind bars are experiencing freedom because they have found a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Bible says, “ So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” ( John 8: 36 NLT) God places a high value on freedom. From the very beginning, he gave us the freedom to choose good or evil, right or wrong, obedience or disobedience. Sadly, Adam and Eve used that freedom to disobey, and their disobedience affected the history of humanity.

Everyone makes some wrong choices, and those poor choices rob us of real freedom.

We imprison ourselves in walls of guilt, fear, anxiety, insecurity.

The walls vary, but we have all experienced them.

But there is good news, we can find real freedom in Jesus Christ!

True freedom is in Christ. He died on the cross for our sins. When we receive His forgiveness and make Him Lord of our life, those prison walls can come down. As we learn to trust Jesus, we can be set free from whatever has restricted us and kept us from enjoying the blessings God wants to give us. We will finally be able to grow and become the person God has designed us to be. True Freedom Through Jesus Christ comes from submitting yourselves to Him and allow God to work through you to restore and renew!

We are no longer controls by our own desires and nature but rather we are submitting to God’s will for us. True freedom does not have to do with being able to do our own thing, but rather we find true freedom when we submit to Christ and his righteousness.

Remember that “ the truth will make you free.” You don’t have to be dominated by sin or bad habits, addictions, worry or fear. Make Jesus your Lord. Renew your commitment to base your life on God’s Word. This is His plan to give you real freedom, real victory, and real peace. You can be confident and secure, guided by His wisdom!
