THE GOSPEL OF FREEDOM

Scripture: Galatians 2:20

When I start my day on Monday morning, I'm already thinking about next week's lesson. As the week progresses I listen carefully to what God speaks into my heart and what the Holy Spirit shows me. I do not wait until Sunday again to share what God has placed in my heart or speak His word to someone. You are called to do the same. You don't have to be a teacher or a minister to do what God has called all of us to do.

The passion to proclaim Jesus Christ is born from the Christian's conversion experience, but enthusiasm can fizzle unless we continue learning and growing in faith. We have no reason to speak about someone we barely know and has not manifested in our life. Our conviction of who God is strengthens the desire to share. We have the remedy for all of the world's ills; Christ and His Word. What good have we done for the Kingdom of God or for our unbelieving friends if we stay quiet about him and only want to talk about him on Sunday for two hours. That unspeakable joy and victory in our lives to overcome is what the seed of Christ produces in us and is seen by others by what we do and say.

Jesus does more than simply save people from the penalty of past transgressions; He frees men and women from sin's power every day. When Christ was on the cross, God saw each believer crucified with Him so that sin's allure was broken. That means we can say no to those things that enslave others. The Gospel message we are called to proclaim frees others and teaches victorious living.

Seed Word: Most unbelievers are trying to live smarter, find a purpose, and be happy. In the present condition of the world, many have become hopeless. Believers have the secret to that abundant life and freedom from worldly oppression because we operate and rest in the spiritual realm. When we can help lift the burden off someone by being that light of spirit and truth we can influence the lost. This is too big of secret to keep silent about. Open the word today and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal a truth you can share with someone else.
