Galatians 5:1 English Standard Version (ESV)
Christ Has Set Us Free
5 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Romans 8:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
Life in the Spirit
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a] 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
John 8:36 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
I'm a hoarder. I hoard all slights and hurts nearly daring God to take them away from me. I want that freedom Christ offers, but I don't want to give up all the troubles that have become strangely dear to me. That's not good! I need to empty my hands to receive the grace God gives. The stone has been rolled away, and I have no business trying to roll it back. I like the song I uploaded today by Ellie Holcomb, "I Want to Be Free."
