Freedom

I sang a hymn today, in which the following words on the page jumped out at me. 

”The love of God it was that sought from sin to set us FREE; That gave the Son, whose precious blood Has wro’t our LIBERTY!” 

FREEDOM, something I believe we all long for. 

What are the chains that bind you today? What addictions or bad habits hold you a slave? Do you want to be delivered? 

There is One who can set you FREE! 

JESUS. He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life! He is the One who said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you FREE. Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed.” (The Bible; John 8 )

“Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)

“Seek the Lord while He may be found”

God through the prophet Isaiah,

“Seek the LORD while He may be found,

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

Let him return to the LORD,

And He will have mercy on him;

And to our God,

For He will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55) 

It’s sobering to think that there will come a time when God may not be found or a time when He may not be near. In Genesis 6:3 the LORD said, “My spirit shall not always strive with man…” 

2 Corinthians 6:2 reminds us, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
