Galatians 5:1
We as Americans realize especially
on a day such as this, when we officially celebrate
our independence, the value of freedom. Even the
professional skeptic realizes that we live in the
greatest country in the world. If you do not believe
it try going to a foreign land. Your freedom will have
a whole new taste to it when you return.
We as believers have even greater
privileges concerning freedom. We can freely approach
the Throne of Grace in times of need. We are free from
the laws of sin and death. We experience liberty in
the Presence of the Holy Spirit. We are independent
from the world and the ways of the world.
Him Whom the Son sets free is free
indeed.
Today as you enjoy the celebration
of this Independence Day take a few moments to thank
God for the freedom that you have in Christ Jesus.
Examine your life to see if you truly are free or if
you are wandering back down the path to bondage. It is
never too late to turn around. Your Father is waiting
with arms open wide…ready to celebrate your return.
Reclaim your liberty in Christ and
stand fast! He has made us truly free!
Thanks be unto
God!!
Father God we want to take a moment
on this day when we celebrate the freedom of this
nation to be sure and thank You for the liberties and
freedom that come as a result of salvation.
You have rescued us from the laws of
sin and death. You plucked us off the road to
destruction. You also give us freedom daily to
experience Your grace.
Thank You for all of the awesome
benefits that have come as a result of becoming a
believer. We experience freedom on a much different
level then those who fail to see You as Lord.
Please use us, Father to proclaim
our freedom in You. Allow us to be examples to those
who have not yet experienced spiritual freedom and
through your witness let them be drawn to You.
In Jesus’ Name!
Amen!
