“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free
indeed.”
John 8:36
The thing to note about today’s
verse is the first word, “Therefore.” The verse says “Therefore if the Son
makes you free.” Can you honestly say that you are free? Are you free from sin
and/or sin’s control of your life? Do you suffer from native thought patterns?
Many of these negative thought patterns are depression, anxiety, fear, worry, guilt
from past sins, or guilt over things that you know you should have done that
you didn’t. Just because we are Christians, doesn’t mean that we are free from
all these things. We have to learn how to walk in the freedom that He has
provided. This comes from spiritual growth. Once we are free, we are free
indeed. John 8:36 says “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free
indeed.” Hallelujah. We may struggle with sin or one or more of these negative
thought patterns from time to time, but we know how to confess these things to
God and leave them with Him. I don’t know if you have been bound by sin or what
you have been thinking about today. I don’t know if you have been walking in
the freedom that Christ has provided or not. Only you can answer that. If you
are free, then thank God and rejoice! If you are not, then give everything over
to the Lord and ask Him to set you free from any bondage that you may be in. He
has the power to set you free, and He wants to. Let Him.
Father, May I be free, free indeed. May I walk in the
freedom that comes from Christ each and every day. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
