FREE INDEED

“If the Son has set you free, you are free indeed.” John 8:36.

True freedom does not come from any person or government of man. The freedom Jesus has to offer is beyond this earth, it is eternal. There are many in this world that celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but yet never come to the full liberation that Christ provides, the absolute unshackling of the soul as our sins are forgiven and we are set free from the chains of bondage of our flesh.

Those who are enslaved to sin are trapped in a cycle of destructive behaviors and negative consequences that continue to bring death to opportunities, to relationships, and that can even cause their literal death. To be “free indeed” means that the freedom Jesus has provided for each of us is a complete liberation from our old life, all our sin, an eternal transformation of mind, soul, and spirit. Why settle for anything less? A life with Jesus is far beyond anything that this world can provide.

In Christ,
