Freedom In Christ

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”

Paul is concerned about legalism killing people’s souls and faith. Here he reminds us that the Spirit in us is always about setting us free from all that is death-dealing, things that diminish us and leave us feeling lost and shamed.

Are there areas of your life right now where you feel bound in unhealthy ways?

Are you sometimes overcome with trying to do everything and do it all with excellence?

If you were to close your eyes and imagine true freedom for your life, what would that include? Write about that, if you choose. Now look at what you wrote. Is your dream consistent with what you know to be true about God and the values of God’s ways? If yes, then ask for Spirit’s aid to lead you into freedom. If you are not sure, ask Spirit to be your teacher and help you sort it all out.

Today, try to notice moments when you feel truly and expansively free. Ask God to create a durable, free and open space in your heart for Spirit to tend, heal and inspire.

Prayer: Come Holy Spirit and create a free and open space in my heart! In Jesus’ Holy name I pray. Amen.
