Totally Free

But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness, for the training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:7‭-‬8 HCSB

Jesus came to set us free. This freedom is not just from our sins, but also from habits, warped thinking, religious ideas etc. Being a Christian is being totally free from all that binds us.

If we, instead, think we can serve God by imposing upon ourselves restrictions that appear Godly, we are in fact boxing ourselves into another jail. True godliness is found in freely loving our God and seeking Him for His ways and giving Him free reign in our lives.

Many of us are into looking good physically as Christians but this, whilst of some good, ultimately cannot save us. I love the discipline of exercise and diet control. However it does not rule. It is a part. I cannot claim glory for what I do, for God's grace enables me. Praise Him!

First things first!
