13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”[
Christ came to not only free us from something, but He came to free us to something.
We are free from
sin and free to have eternal life with Christ. We do not have to live in bondage to sin for
Christ came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
We are also free from opinions of others. When we
choose to see ourselves based on the opinions of others; then we neglect to see
ourselves the way God see us. When we
accept Jesus as our personal savior God sees us through blood filtered lens. God
sees us considering what Christ did, He sees us based on His plans and
purposes. We are free from the opinions of other and free to be who God declares in His word we are.
We are free from fear and free to trust God. The
Bible lets us know that God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power,
love and a sound mind. {2 Timothy 1:17}.We are free to live in full confidence
in the Lord. When we truly understand what Jesus has done for us then we stop
trying to get to a place of victory but operate from a place of freedom and
victory in Christ Jesus. Thanks be to
God who always causes us to triumph in Christ {2 Corinthians 2:14}. We are free
from fear and free to trust the Lord.
Today we have a choice. We can choose to live in
bondage or we can choose to live a life of liberty in Christ Jesus. What will
you choose today?
