For Tuesday, June 28, 2022:
Galatians 5:1 NLT: “So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”
'Freedom in Christ’ is such a recurring theme in the Epistles that it merits more of our time. Under God’s law given through Moses, people were expected to obey every law, never doing anything wrong. The success rate at this was zero!
In the New Covenant, those who put their faith in Jesus are forgiven and redeemed. We’re given this gift because of our trust in God’s plan and the work Jesus did on the cross, taking the sins of the world to the place of the dead.
Now we obey God’s laws and try to live a good life, not to earn our way into heaven, but out of gratitude for what Jesus did for us.
With Jesus as our Savior, we are truly free!
