Broken Chains

                The cool thing about Christianity is that once you let Christ set you free, you are free for life! When Christ helps you to overcome a sin or a struggle, you never have to go back again. When God lets you overcome the flesh, you never have to submit to it again. When Christ sets you free, two things happen: you are set free from sin and you are set free from your past.

                "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of Life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:1-4)

                It is because of Christ that we are set free from the sins that held us down and the consequences of these sins. It is because of Christ that we no longer have to submit to our addictions and sins and other desires of the flesh. Christ has freed us from it all!

                On top of that, Christ has also freed us from the spiritual consequences. He has set us free, making us no longer a slave to sin. He has wiped the sin out of our heart. He has set us free from the wages of sin, which is death (Romans 6:23) It is because Christ set us free that we can rejoice in Heaven for all of eternity. It is because of freedom in Christ that we no longer have to be spiritually dead. it is because of freedom in Christ that we are able to have a relationship with Christ.

                He has broken the chains off of us and we can rejoice knowing that we are new in Him! We are freed from all of our former addictions, former worries, former sins, and anything else of this world that held us down. Christ has set us free from it all!

                "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)
