Liberated By Love
As a 19-year-old freshman in college, I was shackled by my sins. I felt chained to my past pain, held captive by my present guilt, and fearful of the future consequences of my misdeeds. Fortunately, I was introduced to the love of God by a godly family whose evangelism was love – love for each other and me. They invited me to church, where I understood for the first time the seriousness of my sins and the abundance of God’s grace. I trusted in Jesus to save me.
The blood of Christ on the cross not only washes away the stain of our sins; it also breaks the bondage of sin’s control over our being. Our lustful thoughts become thoughts of true love. Our desire for more money transforms into quiet generosity. The Holy Spirit tames our angry outbursts into a spirit of gentle patience. Jesus loved us, loves us, and will love us. Our exalted Christ in heaven loves us now, just as He loved us when living as a humble servant on earth. Each nail driven into the cross resounded emancipation. His shed blood liberated us.
Are you held back by a besetting sin? If so, release it to the love of Jesus. His loving forgiveness will heal your malady and replace it with His righteous strength. Sin is an affront to Almighty God not only because of His holiness but also because of His great love. Rejecting divine love says the fleeting affections of one’s little idols are enough. Accepting divine love ensures we will always desire eternity’s embrace. Your compassionate Lord looks down in empathy and extends His love to you. Will you let go of your trinkets and trust Jesus? His love liberates.
Live in ongoing worshipful celebration of Christ’s love, as if you were in a postwar victory parade. Jesus has overcome sin, Satan and death. We are more than conquerors because Jesus has conquered, is conquering, and will conquer. He rode a lowly donkey on the road to forgiveness, but He will emerge from heaven mounted on a mighty stallion, ready to judge. The victorious love of Christ flows from hearts full of Him. Believe in and receive the love of Jesus.
What distorted love of mine needs Christ’s perfect love? What controlling sin do I need to be freed of?
