True freedom is in Christ

Yesterday we as a country exercised one of our greatest rights that we have as citizens, we voted. As a citizen of this country we have certain freedoms and one of them the freedom to participate in the political process. This is a freedom we all know and see but as Christians, we have an even greater freedom available to us. We have the freedom from all sin. When we accept Christ as our Lord and savior and we live our life for Him instead of for us, we die. That death is a death to our old lives, to our old sinful ways. A new creation is born, the old is gone away. The question is, if this freedom is available to all then why do people not accept it? People are more than willing to get out and stand in line to participate in the voting process but for some reason can’t or won’t humble themselves before God and participate in the greatest freedom we can ever know. The price for our freedom has been and continues to be great, but will never come close to the price paid to buy our freedom from sin. If you really want true freedom, do not seek it from government or man, instead turn to Christ. His freedom is everlasting and will not fail. I urge you to seek that freedom today in your own life.
