I was reading my e-mail the other day and I found a statement that jumped out at me. It was written by someone that has great wisdom and walks closely with the LORD. Look at his words:
“A man may commit a crime and be sentenced to prison. At the end of his term we may meet him on the street and because he is free, we know that he has paid the full penalty. Jesus Christ paid the full price of our sin before God that we might be free to live for His glory (Rom. 4:25; Rom. 6:4)” These words are penned by none other than Dale A. Byers who just happens to be my second cousin.
I began to think about so many people that are caught up or bound in so many different things. It might be money that motivates us to steal and rob others. Maybe it is drugs and/or alcohol that causes us to live our life out of our own control. There are countless situations that bring us into bondage. Sometimes we can be in bondage to something or even someone and not even realize it.
The good news is that we can be free. All we have to do is call upon the LORD in prayer and ask for forgiveness. It is that simple. Look at Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” To be saved is to be delivered. We can be free.
So, how are you doing?
