Devotional for Thursday Sep 02, 2010:
Governed by Love
|
In Christ we are set free
by the blood of his death, and so we have
forgiveness of sins.
Ephesians 1:7
Jesus spoke of freedom, but he spoke of a different kind of freedom: the type of freedom that comes not through power but through submission. Not through control but through surrender. Not through possessions but through open hands.
God wants to emancipate his people; he wants to set them free. He wants his people to be not slaves but sons. He wants them governed not by law but by love.
We have been liberated from our own guilt and our won legalism. We have the freedom to pray and the freedom to love the God of our heart. And we have been forgiven by the only one who could condemn us. We are truly free!
Walking with the Savior
