From the recent Unit Meeting where we meditated on Galatians 5, God brought me to deeper insights and spoke to me about what it means to be free in Christ and to live by the Spirit.
Initially when I was reading Gal 5, there were many thoughts and questions in my mind. I was asking God that many times the options available to lead a godly life are limited. So how then can this be freedom? I was quite confused but it becomes clearer as I meditated and related it to my journey with Him.
Freedom to many people is to be able to do whatever we want. I used to have that mindset as well. That is freedom in some sense but usually it end up with disappointments and unfulfilment. Have you ever experience that before?
True freedom in Christ is not what the world thinks and believe as it is coupled with obedience sometimes even sacrifice at the point of submission but the aftertaste of the inner peace, joy and satisfaction as well as assurance from God is the real freedom that truly sets me free from my selfish carnal nature and bondage of sins.
Gal 1:1 "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves by burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
Have a taste of what it means to receive freedom in Christ today! :)
