So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. – Galatians 5:1(NLT)
LIVE A FREE LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed in Jesus, he freed you from sin
You need to seek his word so you can totally win
Christ died for us on the cross to set us free
Why do we struggle to receive freedom from sin?
We were set free while we were still sinners
Why do we allow Satan to trap us constantly?
Remember to choose a life that is free and loving
This is how we to stay away from bondage to sin.

I watched a movie of someone who was released from prison after over ten years in it. He was innocent but was a victim of the corrupt judicial system in the U.S. and was given a verdict to serve for a decade. When they are released from prison, they are brought into a place where they can start joining the society again. A lot them
ended up depressed and killed themselves a few weeks later from their release because they didn’t know how to live free lives anymore. They wallowed in the discrimination that society easily threw at them.
Just like these former prisoners, we can also allow our old lives to prevent us from embracing the new creation from believing in Jesus.

How can we continue to live free lives?

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. – Galatians 5:1 (NLT)
STAY FREE FROM SLAVERY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed Christ, he made you free
Don’t get tied up again in any form of slavery
Make sure you are regularly seeking God’s Word
It makes you have victory over this corrupt world.
Humanity brings about many forms of bondage
If you are a true believer, you have an advantage
The law that used to enslave you has no more power over you
Love rules your life and the Spirit helps you see God’s view.
When you become a born again Christian, you are given the promise of freedom from any fear or form of slavery. That is the reason why Christ died for you. He gave you freedom so you can use it to exercise love and care for each other and not to serve your own purpose.
The bible tells us that Christ has truly set us free. He wants us to stay free and not tied up again in slavery to the law. It means that we don’t have to be legalistic and strictly following it just to appear good. That’s why he summed all laws to “Love God above all, then love your neighbor as yourself.”
PRAYER
Lord, help me when I am being legalistic.
REFLECTION
How can you enjoy freedom God’s way?
