Sons and Daughters

Read Galatians 5:1-22

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a Yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:5-6 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

We are all sons and daughters of God and He sees us as righteous through Christ. We are not bound by the law but we choose to follow the law because we love Him. If we try to make our own religious plans and try to earn our way to Christ, we loose sight of what He really did for us.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

SO WHAT?

We as sons and daughters are all free from slavery but are called to have faith and honor Him with love. Love Him whole heartedly, seek after Him with all your passion. Make Him the desire of your heart. Love others as God loves others for this is the desire of His heart. We are not called to slavery but are called to faith and love. Through this we will not live by our own selfish desires trying to gain our freedom and live our lives for ourselves. Instead we live for the one who loves us the most and desire His plans for our lives. What He wants our lives to look like.
What are you living for, who are you living for? You are free by the grace of God.

Free to Run

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn! This is not a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan -- this rebirth comes from God.
John 1:12-13 (New Living Translation)

SO WHAT?

Whatever things were in your past that pulled you down or made you feel like you were not worth anything, Jesus has set you free from them. You were born again and all of those old chains can be gone. Today you need to accept that Jesus has set you free and you need to live in it.

You are Free to Run!
