Galatians 5:1
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.
God did the hard part willingly giving up His one and only Son to die for our sins. Christ did the hard part, being tortured, crucified, and resurrected for our sins. We have the easy part. We just stand firm and do not let ourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
We all love getting things for free. Free coffee, free donuts, free oil change are some of my favorites. However, our freedom was not free. It cost dearly, but we didn’t pay for it. All we have to do is claim it.
So why is it so hard to stay free? Why do we let our sins enslave us over and over again? We make that choice to let “me and my needs” be more important than what Christ did for us.
Our freedom came at a price. Isn’t it about time we all started acting like it. Today I choose to stand firm and do not let ourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. How about you?
Thank You Lord for paying the price for my freedom. ~amen
