Galatians 5 verse 1
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. STand firm, then, and do not
let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery"
Observation:
Christ has set us free so that we can live in freedom, so that we can be free.
No hidden meaning or hidden agenda, we were set free simply for this - to live
free.
Application:
Freedom, however, is a choice, it's not something forced upon me, it's
something I choose to live in. I need to stand firm in it, because just as
Christ offers me freedom, the enemy offers me slavery. Sounds like an easy
choice really, and it is, but the enemy has a way of making evil look good, a
way of dressing up sin so it looks appetising enough for me to indulge. But NO
- STAND FIRM! The enemy offers us tricks and deceit in EXCHANGE for slavery,
but Christ offers us freedom in EXCHANGE for MORE FREEDOM! He makes us free
for the sake of being being free! I think I'll take Him up on His offer.
Prayer:
God I don't want to live another day falling for the enemys lies, deceit and
seduction. Help me see his fake offers for the lies they are, they will only
ever buy me slavery and bondage. But you've called me to live in freedom,
you're freedom. To be free for the sake of being free! Thankyou for sending
your son, everyday thankyou. I pray I never get tired of thanking you...
FREEDOM!
Amen
