How are we using our freedom?

 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” – Galatians 5:1

Grace and freedom are not a license to sin (Jude 4). In fact, sin enslaves us; sin is addictive (John 8:34). As those who have died and buried the old person of sin with Jesus in baptism, we are not to let sin reign over us or become our master because we have been liberated by grace (Rom. 6:1-14). So let's seek the power of the Holy Spirit to cleanse us (Heb. 9:14) and powerfully liberate us from sin (Rom. 8:10-15). Let's use our freedom to bless and build others up. Let's use our freedom to offer our hearts and lives to t! he work of God!

Thoughts 

"The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil from the spirit of man." - Albert Einstein
"Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that." - Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

Relationship With God

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
John 1:10-13

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him,  the world did not recognize him.   He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.    Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed  in his name,  he gave the right to become children of God —   children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Revelation 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door  and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,  I will come in  and eat with that person, and they with me.
