True Freedom

Freedom is something that is a privilege in many parts of the world. There are so many people in the world today that don't have real freedom. We watch the news on a daily basis and see news reports of people fighting for their freedom. There are Christians in many countries that don't have the freedom that I have. They are not allowed to meet and worship; they are not allowed to tell others about Jesus; they are not even allowed to have the bible. 
Freedom is more than being allowed to do or say something though. In John chapter 8 Jesus says, "if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." The freedom that we receive through accepting Jesus as Lord is the greatest freedom we could ever ask for. Jesus came to set us free from our past, our sin, from being far from our Father. The good news is that true freedom is free! We don't have to pay for it, or fight for it, or buy it, or even vote for it! All we have to do is accept Jesus into our lives and ask him to free us from all sin, to free us from all of our past, and he will forgive us and bring us into a new life in him.

And remember...

 There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus -

 Romans 8:1
