We think of our country’s freedom at this time and I am moved by the freedom that Christ’s victory over sin has given each of us.
I serve as a worship leader for my church and so yesterday during the service I invited people to share verses that relate to freedom.
The subsequent response was nothing short of a God moment. People all through the congregation shared their favorite freedom texts.
One that stands out in my mind is from Psalm 107. The entire chapter talks about God’s deliverance, however verse 14 is especially descriptive. “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.”
When we turn to God for freedom from sin, the chains we’ve been bound by hold no power. They will drop away because of the price that Jesus paid on Calvary. No longer do we have to be captives. As long as we choose to follow God and live by His power and strength, we are free.
From my own experience, i know this is true. It is only when I turn my life over to Christ and allow Him to fight my battles that I find peace and victory. Praise God!
