Enjoy Your Freedom!
"Therefore if the Son makes you
free, you shall be free indeed."
John 8: 36
Freedom! Summer represents a measure of
freedom for everyone. Because school is out,
families are free of carpools, homework, and
other activities that regulate the school year
calendar.
As glorious as the freedom of summer is,
there's a greater freedom that lasts all year
long which is only found in the Son of God:
freedom from bondage to sin and the guilt
of the law.
As children are free from the regulations and
policies of school for three months, Christians
are freed from regulations of the law forever.
But liberty is not license. Being freed from the
law doesn’t mean we are free to indulge our
sinful nature.
We are free by the power of the Holy Spirit
to please God because we want to, and not
because we have to. The Spirit writes God’s
law on our heart, giving us that newfound
freedom to please Him (Jeremiah 31:33).
Enjoy the freedom of the
summer!
Even more, enjoy freedom granted
by the Son of God by which you
are “free
indeed.”
"The Christian is not free
to please himself but to
please God."
John Blanchard
