1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. ~ Galatians 5:1
Through Christ Jesus, we are freed from a Spiritual yoke of slavery. We no longer have to live our lives as slaves to sin. What does that mean? In other words, through Christ Jesus, our past stays in the past. We are no longer slaves to alcohol, sexual immorality, depression, anger, suicidal thoughts. We are free in the name of Jesus.
Even though we are free in the name of Jesus, we still have a constant battle in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12). But when we stand firm in Christ Jesus, we overcome through Christ Jesus. Sin no longer has a hold on us; the weight of this world no longer has a hold on us. Be encouraged today; it may not happen in the very moment you repent. It may be a constant battle, but when you fight through Christ Jesus, you will overcome any obstacle in your path.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Accept Your Freedom.
