SET FREE SO STAY THAT WAY

 
 
Galatians 5:1
 
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." ESV
 
Before we accepted the free gift of Christ's salvation, we were slaves, captives to our own sinful nature. His sacrifice on the cross gave total freedom to "not" sin and to be able to turn our backs on our old sinful natures. Warning! It is so easy to slip back into our old ways. We don't want to go back there.
 
Heavenly Father, how we thank You and praise You for Your Son Jesus Christ, who set us free from sin by His death on the cross and His resurrection. We stand in need of Your grace as we stand firm against the temptations that would pull us back into the old life of sin. In Jesus name, Amen.

CONCISE DIRECTIONS

 
 
James 4:7

 

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." ESV

 

God will never force us to obey or serve Him. We are free to choose willingly to make ourselves subject to God's authority. Likewise, the devil will continually make attempts to taunt and tempt us, but we are free to resist him by faith in God and he (Satan) has to leave us alone.

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. We give You all we have and ask that You use it all for Your glory. We rejoice that Satan has no hold on us and we are free to resist him. In Jesus' precious name we pray, Amen.

DON'T SUBMIT TO THAT AGAIN!

 
 
Galatians 5:1


"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." ESV



If we were to walk down a road and fall into a hole, would we not be so thankful that someone came along and pulled us out and be careful not to go near that hole or even that road again? Why then, do we sometimes fail to stand firm in our faith and freedom in Christ and end up repeatedly going back to those former, ungodly things that held us captive? It's not that we forget. It is that we allow our spiritual life to become complacent and we do not stay alert. The Word of God tells us over and over to stand firm, be alert, and watch.


Heavenly Father, forgive us for allowing our walk with You to become commonplace. Help us to stay alert and stand strong so that we don't go back to our old ways that mastered us before we accepted You as our Saviour. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
