My very essence and being is sinful and I am not judged for what I have done in the past but for the nature I possess. My human nature calls to sin and draws me to do acts that are capable of shocking the very foundations of the world. I have sinned and FALL short of the glory incapable of living righteous even when I resolve and set out.
Nothing I have in my possession has the charm to keep afloat from my desire to sink deeper in sin. My good deeds, testimonies, achievements, past experience with God, marriage, family, jobs, businesses and a hope of a better tomorrow unplugged from Christ only create a sense of security but never release me to fully experience the freedom in Christ Jesus.
Breaths of fresh air fill my lungs with life away from a near death experience that slipped in with no notice at all. I clasp at the foot of the cross with a resolve to never let go for a moment. The price paid for my freedom is unimaginable and its only foolishness that caused me to delve into thinking that I had anything to contribute to the saving power of God that rescued me.
I have made a decision to die to self everyday so I no longer live but Christ to live in me. To have Christ seated on the throne in my heart and to have him Lord over my very being. His Spirit to bring healing to my whole being and to use me as an agent to bring restoration to world that awaits.
‘Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Because though Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit if life set me free from the law of sin and death’ Romans 8: 1-2
I am free indeed

Oh my goodness. I'm a little scared of your blogs... because they confirm a lot to me. I blogged about freedom just a few hours ago (it was a little incoherent though)... and I'm amazed to see it here as your latest post. God is indeed mighty and always on time. Thanks for this.
I agree.. he is never late
