Freedom!

If anyone has seen the movie Braveheart, you know the famous line shouted by William Wallace before He was killed fighing for his country! "FREEDOM," he shouted as he went to his death. It is the same with Christ. Why do we have freedom in Christ? I was thinking this morning about how people who don't believe in Christ probably think they have freedom to do whatever they want, but really, they are slaves to sin. Anyone who has not been saved by the grace of Jesus Christ, is a slave to himself or herself. They are bound by their sin and really, they have no freedom at all. True freedom comes from following Christ, serving Him, loving others, and serving others! In my life, that is when I feel the most free. I feel the least free when God seems distant or I haven't communicated with Him in a while. Why is that? Well, it's because only true freedom comes from living a life pleasing to Christ because of what He did first for us! Live in freedom because of Christ today!

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.
Galatians 5:1
