Time with God - Jan. 30, 2013

 

John 8:36

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

True freedom is found in Jesus Christ!

You were created to be an awesome person—not dominated by a selfish nature, not controlled by temptation, not mastered by laziness, not driven by the need to prove yourself, not always feeling empty, not needing love that you cannot find, not addicted to chemicals that destroy you, not governed by the excitement of gambling. 

But rather, you were created to live out the life you were designed for by God—the beauty of your personality shining through, loving those you have relationships with, encouraging those you meet, giving rather than taking, helping those in need, partnering with God as He changes lives.

You will never be that person you were created to be without Jesus. You have been damaged by the self-centered rejection of God in your heart. Only by coming to God for forgiveness and starting a real relationship with Jesus, where He begins to restore and renovate your inner life to the way He intended you to be, can you find that place of freedom from fallenness.

God loves you. Jesus died for you. Doesn’t that sound like the kind of God you can turn to for help with your inner life? Today He is offering you freedom.
