The Cost of Freedom

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love. Galatians 5:13 NIV

Freedom isn't free. Freedom isn't doing what you want when you want to. Freedom isn't being free of responsibility. True freedom comes when we surrender to God's will and serve others with love. But if we are servants doesn't that mean we aren't free? On the surface it would seem so. But the only way to truly experience freedom is to understand the price that was paid and ensure others do as well.

Our hearts and minds were meant to be free of the burden of sin. In God we can celebrate that we are no longer shackled to sin and death. Our chains are gone. It is our duty then to tell others so they might be free.

Use your freedom wisely as it came at a high cost.
