John 8:31-32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
True freedom is found in the truth of who God is and the truth of who we are in Him.
David, in the book of Psalm and repeated again in Romans says “how blessed the person is who sin is covered and forgiven.”
There are many people who live this life weighed down with the burden of sin, living in a constant state of guilt and shame. This is the norm for many people. But when they come in contact with the truth of how good, kind, merciful God is, that weight is lifted and true freedom is experienced.
We have been set free from:
Condemnation, guilt and shame. (Romans 8:1)
The bondage of sin. (Romans 6:6-7)
The fear of death. (Hebrews 2:14-15)
These are powerful truths that has set us free! We have the right and authority to enjoy this freedom! That means we can resist condemnation and guilt, we can resist sin because Jesus gave us His victory to overcome sin we can resist fear so that we are not hindered in living this life the way God has intended for us to live.
I encourage you this week to begin to see yourself the way God sees you, the way God sees you is the truth. He sees you as righteous, holy and blameless. (Colossians 1:22) You can say that over yourself and as your mind renews to the Word of God, there will be a new boldness in you that equips you to share this good news with those around you!
