Don’t you just love freebies? That’s when you get things you don’t have to work for just because. Whether it is candy at a parade, or free ice cream at on a special day, a birthday check or whatever, things that we get for free are wonderful.
Not only do we live in a free country, because we love God and have made a choice to serve Him, we have more free things than you can imagine. The biggest freebie is Heaven! We get to live with God forever when we die. Another freebie is that we can live above our problems and see God do great things for us because we pray. Another freebie is to have a conscious that is totally clean and clear because we choose to obey God’s Word. Another freebie is the ability to go to church each Sunday and learn more about the God we love so much. God is pretty amazing! He gives us so much!
Just like the freedoms for our nation, we know that really it does cost somebody something. We are thankful for the people who defend our nation and especially those who gave their lives for America. Our freedom in Christ cost Jesus His life. He did the ultimate sacrifice because He loves you so much. Pretty amazing…..all those benefits I listed above, plus many more…..His provision is abundant in every area of your life! It’s a freebie to you, but cost Jesus a bunch! You know how you can repay his love for you? His Word says that if you love Him, you obey Him. You can make the choice to make good life choices, to make the Word of God your priority, and then the things of the world will never even have a pull on you. That’s the way to live in true freedom!
