Freedom came at a cost, not a thought or a cheap thrill, but a real cost! Our freedom in America is not what I am referring to, even though, that is really awesome. The reference to freedom is that which we have by the adoption into the family of God. I wonder often, actually, if many of the “church” family have taken it for granted. Freedom to worship, pray, congregate, socialize, and to be like the deer that pants after the water brook. That freedom did not come to us with some deteriorated price tag or “blue” light special.

This freedom took Jesus, to make his way through a womb into a cursed world. To suffer and be humiliated at the hands of sinners! To actually care enough for us to die and then to come forth alive for evermore. We have a spiritual freedom that gives us authority over our circumstances and treacherous situations. We can choose to be victorious or live in defeat. Why live in defeat when He has shared His victory with us?

Christ Jesus, simply yet profoundly has enabled us to walk in authority over sin. Why did He do this? The reason is not complicated but wonderfully pure in essence, mixed with the principle of justice. We love Him because He first loved us. God is not hard to love! He has loosened the subjugation and is now a shield about us. He not only protects us, he lifts oppression off of us. During crucial moments in your life you can always count the cost of freedom. He never leaves us nor forsakes us! He causes us to triumph in all things.

Purposeful living is God’s plan for your life. It is hard to live when you are bound in your soul and the heart is heavy with sin. However, His Word has set, all who will just believe, free from this darkness of the soul. The world is so full of people that do not even realize the freedom that is available in Christ.

Go beyond your borders of influence and reach outside the box and tell the story of freedom to the spiritually impaired and heavy hearted. They have defined life as such an essence that has no hope, to all intents and purposes, tomorrow does not exist. Those that have the freedom of Christ’s love and are not limited to religious philosophies that imprison the heart, they can live freely in this world. The impressionable maxim to all that is written is this: Your actions declare how free you are. If you know the truth then you are free.

Bring the truth to the forefront of your life and let all the hope that you have overflow into the lives of those subjected to life as one who has no future and hope.

Get simple and stay simple in your freedom. Understand your relationship with Christ and procure that which will cause you to share the truth of hope.

Share Christ to everyone and to everyone share Christ!

Best
