Freedom is good; freedom is what you are made for.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1
We have been given the greatest freedom of all: freedom of heart, freedom from sin, a freedom that enables us to live and love as Jesus did.
We can be free from:
Bondage
Sin
The fear of man
Shame
Regret
Rage
Disappointment
Addiction
Fear
You name it
We are not only free from; we are free to! We are free to be transformed into the very image of Christ. We are free to love in the face of hatred. Free to become the fullest expression of our unique selves. Free to offer to others the beauty that God planted in us when he first dreamed of us. We are free to:
Dream
Be happy
Be glorious
Succeed
Love
Live
Forgive
Not be bound by any chains
We have this freedom because of what Jesus has done for us! We have been ransomed, paid for, saved, and freed to be who we really are and do what we are meant to do.
And that’s the Memo.
