Live in Freedom
Real
freedom is found only in Him. “If the Son therefore shall make you
free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36, KJV). I love the King
James Version that says “free indeed”. Other versions say
“through and through”. If He has freed me from sin, then I am
released from its bondage. It is a complete work–not partial, but a
finished work. His work in me will always be one that calls for
personal obedience, sacrifice, and perseverance. “Let perseverance
finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking
anything” (James 1:4, NASB). The power of His grace can be realized
in my physical life. If I persevere to grow in His grace, I will not
lack in His power to sustain me. My deliverance from sin's bondage is
daily appropriated by my faith in Jesus who saves me from my own
destructive nature. For this work to be complete in me, I choose each
day to live a righteous life, and not one that will destroy my faith.
Sin will not be master over me if I daily choose not to be its slave
(Romans 6:14).
