Hello Everyone,
There is only One who can give real freedom, only God can give real freedom.
Read with me:
John 8:32-36 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
33They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"
34Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Jesus Christ is the source of real FREEDOM AND EQUALITY.
If you were to ask anyone on the streets whether they are free they would say YES!BUT ARE THEY REALLY FREE?Like it or not, there is no such thing as absolute freedom.
We may live in a free society, given the right of freedom by our constitution and protected from outside intervention by other nations but the fact is WE ARE NEVER REALLY FREE WITHOUT CHRIST.In a free society, men, women, boys and girls are able to move about and do what they want to do.
Sadly, within each of us, there is a heart that chases after the bondage of sin.Sin, rebellion against God, brings us into the bondage of darkness.It places us under the condemnation of the Law of God.It sentences us to eternal punishment.We are free to commit our sin but our sin then determines our destiny and our freedom is gone. Satan does not allow you to have freedom.He does his best to steal your joy, life, and your ability to pursue happiness.
He will take your home, job, family, soul and leave you bound and afflicted every time.He doesn’t give you a choice of what you will do next.
He takes your ability to choose away and leaves you with only one course to follow.
We are powerless within ourselves to get away from his grip and to change our own heart.
WE ARE SLAVES TO OUR OWN DESIRES.
SLAVES TO OUR OWN SIN
SLAVES, BOUND BY SIN AND CONDEMNED BY SIN
SLAVES POWERLESS TO BREAK FREE
SLAVES IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WE CLAIM AS FREEDOM.
SLAVES AND UNABLE TO EVEN BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SLAVES
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
And that is the only way to “Experience Freedom”.
Oh How He Loves Us!
