“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed”
John 8:36
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Redemption makes you free.
You will
never know the value of your freedom until you lose it. Men who are not free
live in fear. There is freedom in redemption. A kidnapped man is deprived of
his freedom until a redemptive price is paid. Adam mortgaged his freedom and
that of his descendants to Satan. But Christ repurchased man; He paid the
redemptive price and freed man! An understanding of the liberty associated with
your redemption will compel you to be grateful to God. Redemption dispels all
fears and offers you eternal life. Jesus Christ paid the price and set you
free. Jesus speaking in John 8:31-32 said, “if ye continue in my word, then
ye are my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free”. Jesus was addressing the Jews who believed in Him. This
shows that If you do not believe in Jesus Christ, then freedom is far from you.
In all His teachings, Christ emphasized on the need for belief or faith. Your
freedom is connected to your knowledge of the Truth. It is the truth you know
and believe that guarantees your freedom. Until you know that Christ, by
redemption has set you free, you will still continue to live in bondage. The
truth is, your audacity is fueled by the knowledge you have. Until you know,
you cannot overcome.
When you
know that the hand of the Almighty God is on you, you will never cower in fear.
Are you not in Christ? If you are, then your moral should be high. Whenever you
are confronted with a problem, speak aloud to your spirit man that “it shall be well with the righteous”
(Isaiah 3:10). No matter the situations of life, be rest assured that you are
more than a conqueror. Above all, the scripture says, “Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 10:11).
The rendition of this scripture in the Amplified Version infers that no man who
believes in Christ, adheres to Him, relies on and trusts Him will ever be put
to shame. As the Gospel of Christ is spread to all corners of Nigeria, Nigeria
will not see shame. With the knowledge of Christ permeating through all facets
of Nigerian economy in particular and the world at large; we are more than
conquerors.
INSTRUCTION: Believe in Christ Jesus and you are
free.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank you for my freedom, in
Jesus Name, Amen
QUOTE: Freedom guarantees life.
