“Freedom In Truth”

1 Corinthians 8:6, 7
But we know that there is only one God, the Father,
who created everything, and we exist for Him.
And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom God made everything
and through whom we have been given life. (NLT)

What a powerful and clear affirmation of the essential equality of God the Father and God the Son and where we fit into the equation. However not all peoples (including many Christians) have received this knowledge (vs. 7), nor do they understand or truly believe in it. There are many people who attend God’s church on a semi-regular basis who still hang on to one or more of the many different gods of this world. There are many Christians who struggle daily trying to break free from their bondage to the world; those idols that control how they live and think. The price for freedom never comes easy, my friends, especially for those who have been held in bondage to the world for most of their lives. But there is Good News; we all have One true living God (1 John 5:20) who lived a fully human existence here on earth (Galatians 4:4-5); the One who paid a very dear price for our freedom from sin, death, and a sure ticket to hell (1 Corinthians 7:22-23). I don’t know about you, but I have chosen to be the slave of our LORD and God, Jesus Christ, rather than being held captive to this fallen world which has ruled my life long enough. I have learned through experience that it is far better and a whole lot healthier to surrender ones life over to the God and submit to His Commands. And when you walk through the pages of His Holy Word, the Bible, you will find that there truly is a perfect formula for living life and the Lord God, in the riches of His amazing mercy and grace, rewards all those who keep on His road to recovery. And we can depend on the LORD to help us break away from our bondage to sin; the powerful god of this world that will rob from you the very life that Jesus so graciously sacrificed His own life for.

A Whisper of Hope
I Am…dear child, the only true and living God. Do not believe in any other god but Me. Do not let the many false god’s of this fallen world tempt you otherwise, for they do not have your best interest in mind. It is difficult to discern what is right and what is not in this darkened world which thrives on deceit. But when you know Me, the Way, the Truth and the Life, I will set you free you from the bondage of untruth and set you firmly on the path to heaven; a path that is anything but easy to follow, but one that is always well worth the journey.

1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding
so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true,
in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (NASB)

Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. (NASB)

1 Corinthians 7:22-23
And remember, it you were a slave when the Lord called you, the Lord has now set you free from the awful power of sin. And it you were free when the Lord called you, you are now a slave of Christ. God purchased you at a high price. Don’t be enslaved by the world. (NLT)
