FREEDOM IN CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you a slave of something?
You can always be delivered from sin
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
It will transform your very life.
For the Lord Jesus is Spirit
Believe in him and you’ll be free
There are no bondages he can’t break
Have faith in Christ, for goodness’ sake.

Freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. This is the worldly meaning to freedom. Sadly, many people abuse this state of being unrestrained by stepping over other people’s own freedom. We cannot claim that we are free if we do not respect other people’s boundaries.
The bible defines freedom in John 8:34 when he tells that true freedom comes from a life that is holy. In John 8:34, Jesus said that everyone who sins is a slave of sin. In verse 36, is the antidote to bondage; if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.
Galatians 5:1 tells us that Christ is the bondage breaker. He has truly set us free. He warns us to ensure that we stay free and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. If we believe in Christ, we will be free.
