Freedom Isn’t Free (& Playlist #9)
Freedom isn’t free.
We’ve all heard the phrase. No freedom has ever been gained without a sacrifice. That is true whether we’re talking about political freedom, freedom from our own personal struggles, or any other kind of freedom.
This week as we remember Christ’s death and resurrection we celebrate true freedom. Freedom from condemnation, freedom from guilt, freedom from sin. Through Christ we have been given the freedom to live as He commands us, the freedom to love Him and others the way He taught us. Christ payed the ultimate price to give us the ultimate freedom! We no longer have to live as slaves to the darkness, when we trust in Him as our Savior we become children of the light!
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
John 8:34-36
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13
