We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to God

DAY 196 OF 365

Day 196 of 365

In the closing chapters of Amos, God warns Israel of the consequences of their sin but offers a vision of hope—a future where He will restore and bless His people. This glimpse of redemption foreshadows the freedom we receive in Christ. In Galatians 2, Paul celebrates the freedom from the law that believers experience through Christ. This isn’t a license for selfishness but an invitation to live fully in God’s grace. The Holy Spirit invites us to embrace a freedom that transforms us, freeing us to live a life led by His love.

True freedom in Christ means release from sin’s hold, but it also means freedom for a greater purpose. The Spirit fills our hearts with compassion, inspiring us to live in a way that honors God and blesses others. As we walk in this freedom, we discover that God’s love frees us to live joyfully and generously.

Today, invite the Holy Spirit to deepen your understanding of freedom in Christ. Ask Him to show you ways to express this freedom in love and service. As you surrender to Him, may you experience a joy that overflows, impacting everyone around you with the liberating power of God’s grace.
