Talkin' bout Freedom!

Driving across the country last week, I saw several different signs: “Jesus Saves,” Jesus has paid the price for you,” “God loves you” and “We are Free Indeed.”

These signs are meant to be reminders for those who may have “lost their way,” or needed a word of encouragement in their life.

But what about those who don’t know what these signs mean?

Jesus Saves… From what.,?

Jesus has paid the price for you… Why?

God loves you…. So does my wife?

We are Free, Indeed…uh; of course I am when was I not?

31 … Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?" 34 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.  –JOHN 8:31-36

“Everyone who sins is a slave to sin…” 

Whether we like it or not, OR except it or not, we are Slaves to sin.  By being such, we should not be able to become a part of the Family of God and should ultimately die. Thankfully, “God loved the world so much, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

If we Hold His teachings, Know and Believe the Truth, We are Free from sin and death. Talkin’ bout FREEDOM…
