How would you like it if one day you were banned from laughing, singing, jumping, or playing?
You wouldn’t be very happy, would YOU?
You would feel sad because you couldn’t do something you like. You could not be free.
But do you think freedom means doing anything you want, good or bad? Of course not! Jesus is the Creator of everything, and that includes freedom.
For you to be happy, God has established some universal laws that you have to obey. For example, thelaw of gravity or theDecalogue.
People who disobey these laws are unhappy and are not free, because they are slaves to their sin.
God has shown you in His Word how to live and make good decisions so that you can be free and happy in this life.
Thanks to the death of Jesus you can be free from the sin and evil that in this world. He’s the only one who can set you free from sin so you can be truly free. But everyone who rejects Jesus rejects freedom and eternal life.
Do you want to be truly free?
Write your answer in your Prayer Journal and explain what it means to “be free in Christ.”
