FREEDOM...Saturday

  11/23/13 

"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." 
 Galatians 5:1

     No one like to be bound to another person.  Slave trafficking is a terrible result of sin in our society and world.  No one likes to owe so many debts that they become a slave to their work to try to pay everything off as the interest continues to mount.

  
   The same goes for Christians.  Why would we try to "pay" off our debts to God for our sins when we have already been set free by Christ?

     Christians do good works as a response of thanksgiving to God for something that has already been done for us by Jesus.  Christians have the ability to work in freedom as heirs with Chris, not as slaves to debts which we have no ability to pay in and of ourselves.  Jesus is everything.

     It is working for the Lord in His kingdom on earth -- spreading the gospel by words of hope and deeds of love -- that we find true freedom.  Christ has set us free and we are free indeed.

    Thank You, Carol, for reminding me that gratitude is an attitude and as a member of our Lord's "first response" family of giving thanks to Him in all things - Philippians 4:7, I don't want to be stingy with gratitude, but overflowing with it. In His name and by His grace I am His.
