Understanding

opening the door to the understanding that freedom is truth understood

The Freedom we are talking about here is spiritual freedom. The ‘no condemnation freedom’ that comes through a relationship with Jesus where the law of the Spirit who gives life, has set you free from the law of sin and spiritual death. A freedom where we’re no longer compelled to be slaves to sinful behaviours, that compulsion is broken. It is a release from the need to earn freedom through our own strength, and a freedom from the fear of death. We are no longer under its power. In chapter 6 of the book of Romans, Paul has some powerful words about what freedom is not, and asks a simple why question. If you’ve been set free from such a strong power why on earth would you choose to go back under it?

Living in freedom is a choice.
