Saturday Writing...5/30/20..."FREEDOM"

Good Morning,

The devotional today is looking into the freedom that Jesus has given us. It is said that when Christ has set his people free we are free indeed. That means that e has provided all we need and it is forever. We need to do nothing to earn it or pay Him back. It is a free gift. Carol wrote, "Jesus is everything.  It is in 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."

Time for some serious thought about the Jesus and His goodness to us.

Have a blessed weekend

Today's Devotional"FREEDOM" 

Written by 

Carol Steficek

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

The same goes for Christians.  Why should 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 Christ, not as slaves to debts which we have no ability to pay in and of ourselves.  Jesus is everything.  It is in 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.
