Freedom

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (NIV)

John 8:32



Why bother with God? Because He is the difference between. . .

Freedom or Bondage to the Past

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and

where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV)

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

Stand firm, then,

and do not let yourselves be burdened again

by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 NIV)

Then you will know the truth,

and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32 NIV)

So if the Son sets you free,

you will be free indeed. (John 8:36 NIV)

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant,

that those who are called may receive

the promised eternal inheritance--

now that he has died as a ransom to set them free

from the sins committed under the first covenant.

(Hebrews 9:15 NIV)

Although circumstances and decisions made in

the past affect our lives in the future, we are not supposed to

allow the past to dominate our lives.

Are you in bondage to your past?

Remember, ". . . if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;

the old has gone, the new has come!"

(2 Corinthians 5:17)
