FORGIVENESS AND FREEDOM




His glorious power will make you patient and strong enough to endure anything, and you will be truly happy. I pray that you will be grateful to God for letting you have part in what he has promised his people in the kingdom of light. God rescued us from the dark power of Satan and brought us into the kingdom of his dear Son, who forgives our sins and sets us free.

Colossians 1:11-14

The immediate impact of the work of Jesus Christ on our lives has two parts. Jesus paid the price for the forgiveness of our sins! Forgiveness is part one! Without forgiveness you still owe a debt that is bigger than you could ever pay.
Part two is Freedom! Until forgiveness happens freedom is impossible! That is why Satan wants you to think that your forgiveness is partial or incomplete. If you are not fully forgiven, you will not have the boldness to step out in the Freedom of Christ!
After you turn your heart to Jesus Christ, every sin in your life is crossed out and “FORGIVEN” is written in its place!
You may say, I know what it is to be Forgiven, but what does it mean to be Free? Being Free as a follower of Jesus Christ means that you can come to God and talk to Him about anything and everything in your life. When you are forgiven nothing stands in the way of you being permanently in touch with the Creator of everything.
“Thank You Jesus for paying the price for all of my sins and thank You for the Freedom that can only come from knowing the Father! May Your Holy and Righteous Name be praised now and forever, Amen!”
