It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? Galatians 5:13-15 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/gal.5.13-15.MSG
Today we saw a young Australian set free from North Korea. We all rejoiced at his freedom. Similarly, when we see a sinner come to Christ our joy is ecstatic. Remaining free is now the role of the one set free.
We see individuals sent to prison for misdeeds. Our prison before Christ is our isolation from Him. Fortunately, He offers a brand new start on our release from the bondage of sin. Praise Him! Not so blessed are those who take the lives of others, even if they repent and are forgiven by Christ, usually they must pay for their misdeeds in jail. However, eternity is theirs. Amen!
