Over the next forty days, I will post excerpts from a devotional I am writing called "Free to Thrive!" This devotional is designed for women on the go. I invite you to join in the study via this blog and learn how biblical freedom can be a reality in your life.
Key Verse:
“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Peter 1:18-19
"Today’s culture needs a new definition of freedom--- a definition based on biblical truth. Often, believers in Jesus Christ, grossly misunderstand freedom by thinking freedom occurs when I do what I want to do and have the resources available to do it. According to the Bible, freedom has nothing to do with earthly things. The Bible teaches that freedom is found in Jesus Christ. Your freedom does not hinge on comfortable situations or circumstances. Nor does your freedom hinge on available resources such as money, power, or influence. Your freedom was bought with the precious blood of Christ. The choice you now face is this--- will you embrace the freedom Christ provides? I hope your answer is “YES!"
In order to live in the freedom Christ provides, you must surrender to Christ’s plans and live His way, not your own. You must have ardent loyalty to truth and look to heaven as your home. Simply put, your freedom is found in the spotless lamb of Jesus Christ. Dear sister, forsake the things of this world. Forsake the world’s definition of freedom and embrace the freedom that comes in Jesus Christ!"
Questions:
Have you bought into the world’s definition of freedom?
Do you long to live in the freedom Christ provides?
