"Having and PRACTICING Reason and Truth"
HI!
If you don't read the newspaper, you are
UNINFORMED.
If you read the newspaper, you are usually
MISINFORMED!
However, if you study the Bible you are
nformed, and NEVER misinformed!

Gal 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke
of bondage.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
We usually think of freedom and liberty as
virtually the same thing.
William Wollaston, in his 1722 book named
The Religion of Nature Delineated, describes
liberty as:
"the pursuit of happiness by the PRACTICE
of reason and truth."
Spiritual liberty is given to those who have
asked Jesus to forgive them, and to become
His follower.
Christian liberty is the pursuit of, and practice
of living IN Christ and FOR Christ.
John 1:16 says,
And of his fulness have all we received, and
grace for grace.
So, the Christian has RECEIVED grace and
is constantly receiving MORE grace.
For instance, Heb. 4:16 tells us:
Let us therefore, come boldly unto the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need.
Also, the Christian has the PROMISE of
God's closeness at all times.
Matt. 28:20 says,
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Spiritual freedom includes salvation from the
ETERNAL consequences of sin, which is
separation from God.
The way to RECEIVE that freedom is to go
to Jesus, begging forgiveness, and asking to
be BORN into His spiritual kingdom.
Now, freedom also includes responsibilities.
And, that is to PRACTICE the pursuit of that
freedom in reason and truth.
Are you PRACTICING your freedom in Christ
by: praying and studying His truth in the Bible?
Love ya!
