“THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you free from the law of sin and death. Not many Christians know how to live in this radical freedom, which is their birthright. Jesus Christ died to set you free; live freely in The LORD! To walk along the path of freedom, you must keep your mind firmly fixed on The LORD. Many voices proclaim: “This is the way for you to go,” but only The LORD’S voice tells you the true way. If you follow the way of the world with all its glitter and glamour, you will descend deeper and deeper into an abyss. Christian voices also can lead you astray: “Do this!” “Don’t do that!” “Pray this way!” “Don’t pray that way!” If you listen to all those voices, you will become increasingly confused. Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for The LORD’S voice and following Christ. The LORD will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. ROMANS 8 : 1 – 2
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” ISAIAH 30 : 21
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” JOHN 10 : 27
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3
Prayer: Lord thank you that through Jesus the law of the Spirit of Life has set me free from the law of sin and death. What a precious gift. One I don’t deserve. Thank you, thank you Jesus. Help me listen for your voice and yours alone to follow. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
