FREEDOM

Freedom...I have the Hebrew word for 'Freedom in Christ' tattooed on my body. I did it a few years ago to remind myself of the freedom that I have as a believer. I still struggle with this concept even today. Growing up in my home I was always told what I CAN'T do..."Don't do this, don't do that, Baptists don't live that way, blah blah blah". It's hard to let go of those strongholds, I confess. But everytime I look at my wrist I am reminded...

2Corinthians 3:17
"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

Hebrews 7:18-19
"The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God."

John 8:36
"So if the Son has set you free, you will be free indeed."

1Corinthians 10:29
"For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?"

Revelation 1:5-6
"To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen."
