Independence Day

Independence day is a fun day to celebrate and a great time to share the gospel with people. We get very excited about having independence, liberty or freedom. But there is a far greater freedom that people need and that comes only by Jesus Christ. The freedom I am talking about is the freedom from sin and from a wicked world of sin.This freedom comes by grace alone, what I mean by that is that heaven is a gift Jesus purchased on the cross when he died to cover our sins. This gift can only come when a person asks Jesus personally to save them from hell. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.Romans 4:5 The Bible also says “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10

When I start complaining I remember I have victory over this world through Jesus and his blood that was shed for me on the cross.[Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.Romans 4:7 Jesus does not just give us a wonderful heaven when we leave this earth whether by rapture or by death. He gives us power to live more abundantly while we are here. Jesus gives us victory from sin that binds us and controls us if we let him. If we serve him he will help us to let go of the things of this world “Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” 1 John 2:15 We can not love God and love sin or things of this world to. But thankfully the more we love God the more we can let go of the things that hurt us anyway. ” In Gods word we find “proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof:” Leviticus 25:10 God has given us all a great purpose to share the gospel with others and free those that are captive to sin and hell. “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 If we simply obey his word and share the gospel we will see God work in our lives, and will love him more and the world less and have more freedom from sin.
