Freedom

 Romans 5-8

“In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires…For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”

Romans 6:11, 12, 14

There is a reality in the impact of Christ’s defeat of sin and death on the cross that changes how we face temptation and sin once we give our lives to Jesus. Christ’s death and resurrection have set us free from the power of sin. This incredible reality is at the core of the gospel and must motivate us to share this amazing news with others. We are set free from the power of sin, but we still have the choice of which master we will serve.

Will we live in the reality of our freedom in Christ, or will we return to the slavery of sin again?

Grace has set us free!

“Lord Jesus, you are my master and my best friend. You have set me free. I want to share this freedom and gospel of grace with others.”
