Free Indeed!

Title: Free Indeed
"So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered Him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
(John 8:31-36, ESV)
What does it mean to be free indeed? For many people, getting to the freedom is one very hard step. But it isn't hard. They themselves make it hard. Jesus wants us to be free, but your faith is what matters. The man of God has his half to do, and you have your half. You can show your faith by your efforts and only that. But, don't get me wrong, God's freedom is SOOOO unique, beautiful and peaceful, and can be felt especially through prayer. But...
Is your freedom 'sin'? 
Well. Well. You see, many people call themselves Christians, but, you know what, they don't follow God. They remain in the 'freedom' of sin. But, Satan only lures you into something, so that he can trap you, destroy you, and bring you to the Lake of Fire on the last day. Satan is VERY jealous of man. As Satan, he cannot be a son of God, like we are. No! he cannot have the power we have, to create our future. That's what our next series will be about. Creating Your Future. We won't post in this series everyday we may post other things as well), but we will do this series as frequently as the Holy Spirit wants. 

The freedom in Christ is a sweet one, where we can freely know that we are not bound by the cage sin puts us in. I'm pretty sure if you asked a sinner, 'Do you enjoy life?', they would talk about how they almost committed suicide by the evil spirit in them, or cut themselves or how they have 'almost to succeed' syndrome. As Christians, our lives go straight up the ladder of success, but a non-believer goes up-down-up-down-down-down-down-up-down-DEAD. So, remember the freedom Christ has given you! Continue your freedom through submission to the Word and prayer.

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
