Glorious Liberty
Romans 8:21
"Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
When we think about liberty, we tend to think about that old Liberty Bell or that freedom we have as citizens of the United States of America. But we must remember that liberty and freedom came with a great price. A price we could not pay was paid on the cross of Calvary by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We were in the bondage of sin, in a corrupt world. It seemed like there was no way out. But little did we know that even in our sinfulness, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost had a perfect plan. The plan was a plan of love. The very son of God would come to this old world, die for our sins, and offer us salvation through His perfect love.
I know what Paul was talking about when he talks about our glorious liberty. It is liberty that we have as the children of God.
Teresa and I hope everyone has a safe 4th of July. As we celebrate our freedom and independence let us remember glorious liberty was not free.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
