The incredible freedom we received in Christ, released us from the recurring need to offer daily sacrifices to God. It freed us from the annual obligations to have our sins covered for another year by the insufficient blood of bulls and goats. Having been saved through our faith in Christ, ALL our sins: past, present, and future, are forgiven, and we are to put off our old former ways. We are to live by faith and we are to walk in spirit and truth. Some Christians use the incredible freedom we have in Christ to indulge in worldly ways and carnal activities. They exploit our spiritual privileges and pervert the Word of God by proclaiming that we are free to indulge in whatsoever ungodly acts and fleshly inclinations take our fancy. This is outrageous and such misappropriation of God's Word is unacceptable, unscriptural, and should be challenged and changed. We have spiritual armor to protect ourselves from the ravages of the flesh, and we have been given God's sufficient grace to stand fast in this evil day and resist the devil and all his worldly temptations. We are to live as Christ lived: in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life, and we are to love and serve one another in the same way that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us. Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this important reminder that both legalism and a license to sin is unacceptable in the lives of children of God. Thank You for the freedom we have in Christ, and help us to live in holiness and righteousness to Your praise and glory, serving others through Christ's love, which only comes as we continue to abide in Him and He in us. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

The nations of the world have chosen to rebel against the Lord, and His hand of blessing is being withdrawn before He comes to address the evil of this age during the 7 year Tribulation period. Israel will always be the nation whose God is the Lord, but Israel has been set aside for a season until "the fullness of the Gentiles has come in." But Paul tells us, "all Israel will be saved," when they repent of their sins, return to the God of their fathers, and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ - which they will do as a nation at the end of the Tribulation period. But Truly Blessed, Without Measure, is the man, the woman, the people, the nation whose God is the LORD. Truly blessed are His people and His Body, which is the Church. He loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him should not perish but become inheritors of His coming kingdom and be given life everlasting. Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we thank You that we are Your children and that Your promises to both Israel and the Church are irrevocable. Look down with pity on those that are lost in trespasses and sins and we pray that many more people may come to faith in Jesus Christ Who is the only way, the only truth, the only life, and the only Savior. In His name we Pray, AMEN. All who receive the Lord Jesus as the Word of God made flesh, are given the right to become children of God, even to those that believe on His name, and there are many who truly believe in Christ as Savior, many who have trusted Him as their Redeemer, many who have placed faith in the only begotten Son of God for their salvation. A Christian is not necessarily a disciple of Jesus, but disciples of Christ are certainly Christians. Believers who have learned and are continuing to learn more and more of Christ Jesus are truly those who can call themselves disciples. When we obey the Word of God and learn of Christ, we grow in spiritual knowledge and our spiritual understanding matures. The more we grow in our Christian life, the more we develop in our freedom from the sin nature that keeps us in bondage, and that freedom in Christ sets us free to live our life in spirit and truth. Let us abide in the Word of God so that we may learn of Christ and grow in grace, for if we truly abide in Christ and He in us we will certainly be His disciples and we will know the truth and The Truth Will Set You Free. John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set us free.” Our United Prayer:
Lord, we want to know You more, abide in Your Word, and become true learners of You. Help us, Lord, to learn of You and grow in grace. We want to know the truth and to be set free from the bondage of sin, a freedom that only comes as we abide in You. We ask this in Jesus' name, AMEN. Freedom is the cry of every man and woman, every boy and every girl. And Jesus proclaimed: "If the Son makes you free, you will be FREE INDEED." How important to recognize that there is a huge chasm between knowing facts about the truth as a historical fact, or as some detailed information, and actually knowing the truth about the unique Person and saving Work of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a vast difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing the Person of Jesus - having a personal relationship with Him, as outlined in the Scriptures. Every man and woman is born dead in sin. Everyone lives in bondage to sin. Everyone is a slave of sin and is entrapped by sin. Every man and woman is estranged from God and shackled by the heavy weight of sin. But there is one way, and only one way to be set free from slavery to sin, Satan, death, and the curse of the law - and that is to know Christ personally - not simply to know historical facts about Him, but to know Him as one's own personal Savior Who willingly died in our place to pay the price for our sin. When we are set free from slavery to sin, Satan, death, and the curse of the law by the redeeming blood of God's only begotten Son, we know the Son as Savior and the Son, Who loves us, gave Himself for us, and sets us free forever. John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus. Thank You for sending Your Son to be our Savior and for setting us free from slavery to sin. Thank You that in Christ we are set free from the curse of the Law, and thank You that the punishment that we deserve for our sins was paid for us by the Lord Jesus Christ, so that by faith in Him we are truly set free. May we live our lives to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Christian liberty is not a dangerous doctrine as the legalists and law-mongers would have us believe. Legalism seeks to change the old sin nature from the outside and forces it to obey God's perfect, unachievable Law in our own strength, but it fails every time. The surrendered believer who is walking in spirit and truth, is yielded to the guidance of the Holy Spirit Who works through our new life in Christ, and over time we discover an inner discipline at work. The spiritual Christian discovers the righteous requirements of God's law being fulfilled in and through them. How wonderful to discover this godly FREEDOM we have in Christ Who has set us free from the yoke of bondage by means of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is working in us, day by day, transforming our new life in Christ into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have been set free by Christ and are no longer under bondage to the Law. Thank You that through the Holy Spirit's work within, we are enabled to live our lives for others and not for selfish inclinations. Continue to work in us and through us so that we may live lives that are pleasing to You and glorifying to Your holy name, and keep us from falling back under bondage to legalistic practices, knowing that we have been set free by grace through faith in Christ's finished work on Calvary. This we ask in Jesus' Holy name, AMEN. |
