FREEdom or bondage - 1 Corinthians 3:17

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

  Please think about this today.....Freedom or bondage....where are you?

1 Corinthians 3:17 "For the LORD is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom."

   If we are still walking in sin, we are in bondage and struggling.  As in Jesus' day, those who were trying to be saved by keeping the Old Testament law were soon tied up in rules and ceremonies.  Trying to follow the law, or work for our salvation is being in bondage and satan loves this.

   How do we get out of bondage?  Well, take lots of money to the pastor and church daily and have them pray for you.  Baa hum bug!  You know that is not the way.    What is the way, the truth, the light - J E S U S !

   To get out of bondage recognize you are a sinner, ask forgiveness from God;  then forgive yourself; and truly ask JESUS to come into your heart and give you the rebirth you need, a new person in JESUS CHRIST. 

   When we trust Christ to save us, he removes our heavy burden of trying to please him and our guilt for failing to do so.  Romans 8:1 God provides freedom from sin and condemnation through the Holy Spirit.

   By trusting Christ we are loved, accepted, forgiven, and freed to live for him.  "Wherever the Spirit of the LORD is, there is freedom."

   Now go my friend, into the world, share the freedom with others. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
