Independent From Sin, Dependent on Jesus (That's good!)

The greatest freedom of all -- Freedom in Christ.

Celebrate that everyday.

Galatians 5:13:
"For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."

and 1 Peter 2:16:
"Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God."

and Revelation 5:8-10:
"And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals,for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth."

Gripped by Grace,

Thank goodness we live in a country where we are free to worship our Lord and Savior. What a wonderful feeling that is.

Thanks to the soldiers who are fighting still for that freedom.

Blessings to you and your family.
