Freedom in CHRIST

Webster dictionary defines freedom as the absence of necessity,coercion, or constraint in choice or action.

When we accepted the LORD as Savior and LORD of our lives we are set free from the slavery from sin. Sad to say that Christianity is not seen in us because we define freedom in our own perspective and not into perspective of GOD. We define it that we are free as to whatever we want to do. We are badly mistaken, when we do that, we are coming back again from the slavery of sin.

1. Freedom in the perspective of GOD. Means that we are free to do what is right in CHRIST JESUS our LORD! 

2. Freedom from Slavery of Sin. We are set free from slavery of worries and now we have hope. We are set free from anger, bitterness so we can now forgive, and be patient with others.

3. Freedom to do HIS Righteousness. We are set free from being selfish so we can now give generously to others. We are set free from greed and selfishness so we can celebrate with joy when others gain achievements in life.

4. Good Works is a Result of Our Association With HIM. As the Bible says in Ephesians 2:10 "We are created in CHRIST JESUS to do good works which GOD prepared in advance for us to do"

5. We are Now a New Creation in CHRIST When He Set Us Free. In Galatians 2:20 says "I have been crucified with CHRIST ; it is no longer I who live, but CHRIST lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the SON of GOD, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

6. Freedom to Love HIM Back. In summary the freedom under the perspective of GOD is giving us the power to live to do what is right, and the result of it is our free will to do what is right with the very nature of our LORD as He extend forgiveness, grace, mercy and love to others. Our very new nature is no longer our old self but our new self found in CHRIST to do good works,  to do what is right, to long and fulfill what is good and right because it is no longer us who live, but His Spirit now lives in us. It is my prayer that GOD may grant us freedom from sin, that HIS love for us we may we able to respond in full obedience to GOD, not because of the law, but because we love GOD which is above the law. May we find true fulfillment in life as we love GOD with the freedom that HE give us, to love HIM back. Amen.
