Be a Free People! Grace is not given so that we might neglect obedience

Reposted fom August 7, 2008

"But we also have to be wise not to abuse our freedom earned by Messiah's atonement for our sins: being free means being free from sin, not being free to sin. Sin itself is the enslaver and the bondage we're to avoid; we're free to follow and glorify Messiah."
Sam Nadler

Just because we have been given free will does not mean that we can abuse that freedom. God gave us a choice, but just as with Adam and Eve, He is not pleased when we use our free will to sin or to choose the easy way out.

Yes, His "burden is light," but He also desires us to make hard decisions in order to grow spiritually. It's through the refining fire that He molds us to be who He wants us to be!


Don't skip the Savior's refining fire, taking the easy ways out in life, and miss out on experiencing TRUE FREEDOM in Jesus!
