Freedom

"For freedom Christ has set us free," Galatians 5:1.
Who has set us free? Christ. Free from what? from any law that invokes a curse. What kind of a curse? the kind that says if you fail in keeping the law you die. (Spiritually speaking, of course ... but, eventually, materially speaking, too.) And for what purpose did Christ set us free? for freedom itself. And this freedom effects what? adoption as children of God. What benefit has adoption? children inherit God's promises. And what are his promises? Life. Unimaginably good life. For ever. For always. Where and when? not in this world. In. the. age. to. come.
Take a few moments to joy in the promises of our God. And then let your joy be known (and its reason) with someone else today.
