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.
