You are Free!


Hello my siblings in Christ. It has been a while since I last posted on my blog. Today, I want to talk about sin and how we have been freed from it. The Bible teaches us that because of Jesus', Sacrifice and Grand Resurrection, we are all free from the shackles and bonds of our sins. Consider Romans 8: 1-5: "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" (ESV).  Praise God!! These verses speak volume. Because of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we can now live free. We don't have to live the life we use to live. We no longer have to worry about being trapped in the same vicious cycle we struggled with. Jesus has set us free; therefore, we must start living free. Though you faced so many problems in your life from the ones you love most, you are no longer bound to those problems nor bound to the resentment you feel towards them. You choose to forgive. You've dealt with addictions that have been hard to keep away from, but God freed you from that life and has given you heavenly desires. Now you stand strong in righteousness and honor the Lord. By proclaiming God as your Lord and Savior, he will set you free from your sinful ways. Now, even though we are free, we must always keep ourselves guarded from temptation and sin. My wife and I were reading Genesis 4. In this chapter, it spoke of God warning Cain of sin. Verse 7 says: "If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. It's desire is for you, but you must rule over it" (ESV). The enemy is always on the lookout for anyone who does not have God on their side. If we are outside of God's protection and continue our old ways of living, we are essentially accepting those sinful chains of imprisonment that Jesus, has already freed us from. It doesn't have to be this way. You are the child of the Almighty God. God has redeemed you from sin. He has given you a new life, a new heart, and a new mind. Be the master of your sinful nature and start seeking pure and righteous ways in how you can live for him. Let God order you steps, not sin. I pray that someone was blessed by this post. I pray that God touches your heart and mind right now and inspires you to start living for him. He has done so much for me, I just simply want to give back to him. All honor and praise goes to, Jesus Christ. God Bless you all! 

Inspirational Bible Quotes:



Romans 6:6
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.



 1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



 John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

The Healer

Hey there, friends. I pray that everyone is doing well. For this post, I would like to talk about healing. Healing is something that can be hard to comprehend. At times, we may encounter situations so painful that it seems like healing is the last thing to happen to us. Maybe you was hurt by someone that committed such an act that left you with deep scars. Or perhaps you have been listening to the same lies the enemy has been telling you for years, all while focusing so much on the pain and fail to focus on the healing that the Lord is willing to give you. Everyone is going to have a different scenario and probably face some difficulty in finding healing. Friends, I tell you today, that no matter what pain you are facing healing is surely on the way. The great news I have today is that our Father in Heaven can heal anything, even a broken heart. Although, we do have to do our part to let the process of healing begin. Maybe by letting go of the resentment you hold towards the perso...

Unconditional Love

Hello everyone, and welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful week. It has been quite busy for me from studying for a test, catching up on homework, and work. But, I made it through another week and getting ready for the next. This evening, I want to talk about love. Love is something very important and even fundamental in this journey with, Christ. Before I started this journey, I did not truly understand what love really was. True, unconditional love. And as I am growing, I am still learning more of what it means to truly love not just family, friends, and loved ones; but, even others whom have no biological or personal ties to me. Even for individuals whom I use to call my enemies. It is the kind of love that only, Jesus can give and teach us of. Each day we may believe that we are capable of such an act. We may think, " I'm a kind enough person and can certainly show love. But, put yourself in a situation where someone has done wrong to you. If someone has spo...
