Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”—John 8:34-36 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to fully live out this day in the freedom that was purchased for me at the cross of Christ.
You have called me out of
my slavery to sin and have invited me to take my place of freedom as Your very
own child—a chosen member of Your own family.
You have made possible my
total freedom—so that sin no longer has the power to make me its slave, by
controlling me, manipulating me, clouding my mind, will and emotions, and
dictating my every action.
Thank You that through
Christ Jesus, Your Son, You have set me free to obey You, as an act of my love
for You, and have poured out on me the blessings that flow from that obedience—joy,
peace, provision, protection, power and purpose—as I fulfill Your plan for me,
by serving You wholeheartedly.
Help me to continue to choose to be free—as I seek You out by
searching Your Word and placing my confidence in its Truth, and as I listen for
Your Voice and respond with loving, obedient submission to You—so that You can
continue the work of sanctification in me.
Help me to fully live out this day in the freedom that was purchased for me at the cross of Christ.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
