The following devotional is written for the Fourth of July, in honour of the U.S. Independence Day ...
Thank You for our Freedom
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed.” (John 8: 36 King James Version)
There are a lot of celebrations and parties tonight because it
is Independence Day. If the blood of Jesus has been applied to our hearts
for the forgiveness of our sins, we have been set free from the bondage of satan. For those of us who claim to be Christians, we should have a
celebration every day because we have been set free from our sins by the
cleansing atoning blood of the Christ of Calvary.
We read in the Bible “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For
the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law
of sin and death” (Romans 8: 1, 2). What an assurance it is to know that
Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death forever!
Heavenly Father, thank You for our freedom. We give You thanks that because
You sent Your beloved Son to die for us on the cross we have been set free.
Jesus, thank You for dying for us on the cross so that we can be free.
Father, please help us to live so that others will see that Jesus has indeed
set us free. May our families and our friends and everyone we meet see and
hear the love of Jesus in our smiles and in our words. Amen.
