Set Free

Does being a Christian make a difference in my everyday life?

God’s Response

We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. Romans 6:6-8

He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10

What is freedom? Many people today would define it as the ability to do whatever they want whenever they want. Ironically, the Bible says that those who reject God have less freedom because they are slaves to sin. The biblical understanding of freedom is living the way you were created to live. When you become a Christian you will still sin, but you will no longer be enslaved to sin. You are free to live as God created you to live—assured that your life has purpose, free to use your talents and abilities, full of hope for the future, and confident of God’s love.

This Is Promising

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17
