True Freedom
Do you have true freedom? Many think that they are living
in freedom without being enslaved to anyone or anything. They can speak,
write, believe, and do whatever they like as long as it is not against
the law of their country. However, they fail to realise that they are
enslaved to many things and really need the Saviour Jesus to make them
free. The Lord says, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of
sin” (John 8:34) and God’s Word says, “for of whom/what a
man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” (2 Peter
2:19). Many are slaves to sins, lusts, hypocrisy, superstitions, false
beliefs, lies, pride, selfishness, boasting, bad temper, envy, hatred,
vengefulness, discrimination, criticism, complaining, murmuring, or
impossible behaviours. Many are slaves to materialism, fashions, movies,
novels, video games, or worldly pleasures. Many others are slaves to
tobacco, alcohol, gambling or drugs.
You and I really need the Saviour Jesus to make us free.
The Lord Jesus says, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my
disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free… If the Son (Jesus is the Son of God) therefore
shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:31,32,36),
and God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). Therefore, without the Lord Jesus
and His Word, no one nor anything in this world can give you and me true
freedom.
