You Can Be Free

Is there something in your life that brings bondage? You may feel trapped. You want to make a change in your life, but you just don't really believe that it's possible. There is good news for you. God wants you to be free. He has the power to set you free from anything and everything that binds you.

God has a way of setting free all who are bound. He has the power to set anyone free. Only truth can set us free. Jesus said, "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32, NLT). People are bound because they have chosen to believe a lie. What you believe makes all the difference. 

The lie may say, "It has to be this way. There is simply no way out. This is my life." Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Jesus is the way out of bondage. He is the truth. Jesus is the new life of freedom.

There are three reasons people cannot be set free from their bondage. First, they don't know the truth. Second, they don't really want to be free. Third, they don't believe the truth. Knowing the truth is knowing the Lord Jesus. Believing the truth is trusting the power of Jesus Christ to set you free. 

Has Jesus Christ set you free from an addiction, a besetting sin, or a hopeless situation? If so, you have a testimony that others need to hear. You know the power of Jesus Christ that you need to share. You know the truth that others need to believe. Let God use you to help others find freedom in Christ. That's your purpose, your ministry, and your calling.
