 Let Freedom Ring! The Bible says - "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
When God sent His Son to the earth, He opened the door of salvation to everyone who would believe. That means anyone can become His child and have everlasting life! Aren't you glad He didn't just come to save certain kinds of people? Aren't you glad He didn't have a bunch of rules and conditions for salvation? The good news is that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life and that's what Freedom is all about!
Before Jesus came, people had to observe many laws in order to be holy enough to enter the Temple. These people were not free. In fact, they were slaves to their policies and regulations. They were constantly performing sacrifices to pay for their sins just so they could come near to the presence of God. And even then, their sins were only covered up. When Jesus came to be with us here on earth, He was the final sacrifice. His blood that was shed on the cross didn't just cover our sins, it washed us clean. Now, instead of just going to the Temple to be near God, the Bible says we ARE the Temple, and He chooses to live inside of us (1 Corinthians 3:16). Thank Him today for His mercy and for extending the gift of salvation (Freedom) to "everyone who believes."
Are you one of the everyone? Have you believed and received? If you've never asked Him into your life, there's no better time than the present.
Simply open your heart and invite Him in and become Free right now!
