Freedom!



For Freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. ~ Galatians 5

The yoke of slavery is The Law. Christians are no longer under that yoke. We have been set free in Christ. All of our sins, past, present, and future, have been forgiven. Do we really believe that?

Many are quick to quote the law to us, when we admit to our falling into sin; they then become an accuser of the brethren, and judaizers. They have just perverted the Gospel.

Receive the forgiveness already paid for you by our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He loves you.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ ~ Ephesians 1

Hi Julie. I didn't know you had a blog but when Facebook asked me to confirm that you are the author of Goaded by God I figured that if you say you are, you are, so I confirmed it. Anyway, I hope I'm not a hyper Calvinist because I don't believe God has two wills. I believe He has one will, some of which is secret and some of which is revealed. God bless. :)

Hi Jim. Thanks for the confirmation. I guess FB wants to be sure I'm not a plagiarist. That post you read speaks about my frustration.
