The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. – E. Hoffer
Paul stated “in Christ he was free to do all things,” but that if “eating meat” caused offense to his brother, he would eat no meat. What a COST to pay!
When you really stop to think about it, the whole concept of freedom is wrapped up in GOD. He is free and able to do ALL THINGS, yet because of His great love for us He restrains himself on our behalf. Our sins are punishable by death yet God chose NOT to condemn us to hell, but save us freely by grace. And that my friend is a mighty awesome example of true freedom. As we celebrate let us remember before there was a 4th of July celebrating this country's great freedom, there was Christ who set us free indeed. Praise God for your SALVATION!
Until tomorrow……
Pastor Botts
“Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.” – I Corinthians 9:19
