Freedom recognises God

‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters’

Genesis 1:1-2 nlt

It’s from this place that everything needed for Creation already was. Everything made by God came from everything he made.

Humans have created nothing. They have made astonishing discoveries and manufactured stunning things. In all of this they have seen and used things God already created. He is taking us on a remarkable adventure exploring the world and the life he has created.

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” Ecclesiastes 1:9 It all comes from Him first 🖐 🎤

Watchman Nee (Ni Tuosheng), was an early 20th century Chinese Evangelist and Theologian whose writings deeply influenced global believers. He put it like this “True freedom begins when we abandon our dependance on our own works and surrender to the complete work of Christ”.

True freedom recognises God for who God is. This attitude and perspective gives us the freedom to accept the freedom that salvation, the breaking of the power of sin, brings and actually live in it and from it. The reality of “it is for freedom that Christ has set us free”.
