True Freedom

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
has made me free from the law of sin and death.”

Romans 8:2
 

There is a lot of talk in our world about freedom. However, the freedom’s that are discussed in society today are often desires to do evil. Classic Christian Pastor Richard Newhaus said, “Freedom standing by itself inevitably degenerates into license. License, which is unbridled freedom, quickly becomes the enemy of freedom.”

The Bible tells us that true freedom sets us free from the bondage of sin. When the Spirit sets us free, He frees us to obey God and live holy lives. The freedoms that people desire today are merely a license to sin.

Thought for the Day:
Freedom is not the right to do as a person pleases,
But the liberty to do as he ought.
