Breaking Free

Some days you may 'feel' as though no one is on your side. Perhaps you feel put down at work or misunderstood by those around you. Our reaction to these scenarios determines whether or not we live in slavery or freedom.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery (Galatians 5v1)
In Christ, God has set us free - we are accepted & forgiven. We still have responsibility to do what is right but our acceptance before God isn't based on what we do or how others view us. 
The Bible reveals that, by faith in Christ and all he accomplished through the cross, Christ's righteousness is imparted to us and we are given right standing before God. This is called JUSTIFICATION (see Romans 3v21-6).
I encourage us to know the truth of who we are in Christ and to live in the freedom it brings:
if you hold to my teaching you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8v31-2);

if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed (Jn 8v36)
