Jesus Sets Us Free

John 8:32 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

When Jesus died on the cross, we all died with Him including our sins and inequities. We are now new persons with His Spirit inside us...free to follow His footsteps and walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outburst of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 5:13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

We always wanted to be good yet sometimes found ourselves unable to shake off the chains of bad habits. Simply turn in faith to Jesus so we can be set free from the bondage of sin. He alone can break the shackles of sin in our life. Receive Him as your Saviour, and "the truth shall make you free".

We must place our faith in Jesus and trust in Him alone to save us (Ephesians 2:8-9). We must show our faith by being willing to repent from our sins and accepting Jesus Christ and His gift of eternal life (1 John 5:11, 12; Revelations 3:20).

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I need you. I confess that I am a sinner. I believe that you died on the cross to pay for all my sins. With Your help, I will turn away from sins. Please come into my life and be my Saviour and my Master. I accept your gift of eternal life. Make me the kind of new person you want me to be. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me eternal life. Amen.

In Tagalog: Panginoong Jesus, ako ay makasalanan. Nananalig akong ikaw ay namatay sa krus para sa aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap kita bilang Panginoon at Tagapagligtas. Baguhin mo ako. Salamat sa pagdating mo sa aking buhay at sa kaloob mong buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.
