True Freedom

 

Tomorrow here in the U.S we celebrate our Independence day and every year it's good reminder to me that freedom is never really free. It always comes at a cost. In the case of our country's freedom it came at the expense of the blood, sweat, tears and lives of the men and women throughout the years that have fought to keep our country safe and free from oppression.

But in talking about freedom I am reminded that there is another freedom, a true freedom. A freedom that anyone, anywhere can experience. Whether you're here in America or on the other side of the world in North Korea. This freedom was not bought or secured but any government but came with the biggest sacrifice of all.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 

Are you still a slave to sin, without Christ and without hope? That can end today. By admitting you are a sinner, accepting that Christ died for your sin, asking Him to forgive you and surrendering your whole life to His control and authority.

Maybe you've known Christ for a long time but true freedom still seems elusive. What is it that enslaves you today? Is it loneliness, depression, addiction or maybe perfectionism? Take that to Him!

John 8:36 "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

2 Corinthians 3:17  "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

That is true freedom.
