Galatians 5:1
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.
In a world full of secrets, habits, and fears, it’s difficult to truly feel free. The pressures we struggle with lead us to live lonely broken lives that hide who we really are. Is there any sin that you are a slave too? God has a plan for you to be free in Christ and not live a secret life. Secrets bring bondage.
2 Corinthians 3:17
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
You can be free in Christ, truly free, and God’s enemy doesn’t want you to know is that. When Jesus came back to the temple in Nazareth, He read from Isaiah these words.
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
Jesus told the people, after Jesus read these words from the Scripture, what you’ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day. Freedom from the bondage of sin, is what we have been given so why are so many believers in bondage to secret sins and addictions? Because we are still living like Satan’s lies about our identity are true. God cares about prisoners who are in bondage to sin. If we believe what God’s word says about our identity instead of believing in the lies of the enemy, we will be truly free. Whose message will you listen to?
John 8:31-32
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
What lies that control you do you need to replace with God’s truth?
