GALATIANS 5 :1

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

TO PONDER

Through the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have been made free from all bondage to sin death and the devil. We are free indeed. We have passed beyond judgement (John 5:24), made new in the living Spirit of God.

Therefore, let us not dishonour the name that God has given us by again becoming slaves to sin. Let us not return to slavery in Egypt but continue in the wonderful promise of God that we have life now and eternally. Life to serve Him and each other, not as slaves in bondage, but as willing, dutiful servants and messengers of His grace and mercy.

PRAYER: Jesus Christ, thank you for setting me free. Help me use this freedom for good. Keep me close to you and guide me as I live in your promise of forgiveness and and eternal life. Amen
