🌿BREATHE TRUTH🌿
“Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 1 Corinthians 3:17
“But when the right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent Him to buy freedom for us…… so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are His children, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts.” —Galatians 4:4-6
🌿LIVE THE REAL TRUTH🌿
Who doesn’t like presents? The best presents are not always tangible, but always touches places in our soul. Epic gift from God: Freedom that lasts to eternity.
Freedom that threads its way through crevices and creases, gaps and grooves, openings and orifices, fissures and fractures. Hidden places, heartbroken spaces, harrowing races.

But when the right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman.
God’s timing, matchlessly planned and prepared, is majestically consummate and complete. God’s salvation for us is God-derived and man-delivered. The birth of His Son is a rite of passage in pain and a rite of principal in perfection. An imperfect people in need of a perfect God. A baby that can hold the helpless and the heroes, heal the weak and the warrior, help the lost and the lonely, and has a plan for you and me.

God sent Him to buy freedom for us.
The world has a marketplace for sin and the sacrilege, misdeeds and misdemeanors, iniquity and immorality. All these are on sale and the price is cheap. But if you want more out of life, the cost goes up dramatically. What are you willing to pay for the antithesis of these?
God sacrificed His Son to purchase our freedom. His death on the cross pays in full the bill of every wrong and wrongdoing we have ever committed.
In ourselves, we come with bank accounts bankrupt and credit cards of sinful living maxed out a long time ago. Spiritually in-debt beyond our ability to make even the minimum payment. Struggling to disengage and disentangle from our present maze of regrettable choices and past mesh of living with regret.
God’s gift of freedom is an emancipation to a new life in Christ and a new, extended line of credit called grace.

So that He could adopt us as His very own children. And because we are His children, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts.
God gave up His Son to clear our debt of sin in order to buy our freedom. Before, we lived in the world and belonged to the world. Now, we live in the Spirit of His Son and we belong to God.
Yet here lies the disparity. The physical birth is one of brevity. God’s birth is for eternity. Choose the greater birth and live out your destiny as the beloved sons and daughters of God, the Risen One.
🍃🍃🍃
Where the Spirit of God and His Son is, freedom flourishes faithfully. To come bankrupt in spirit and be beautifully broken. To come poor in spirit and be richly redeemed. The spiritually without becomes spiritually filled.
This is freedom to live abundantly and above and beyond our spiritual means. Spiritual freedom is oxygen for the soul. Breathe in freedom and live out the Real Truth today.
