Dear Community!
Grace and peace be to you, from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians 1: 3
A soldier when the fight goes does not go anyway. He studies all the possibilities to attack the enemy, observes the geographical area, the climate and the distance from one place to the other. It is equipped with weapons and ammunition as well as with other advanced technologies, all to achieve its objective.
So is the enemy, Satan, when he goes to attack his victim, he also observes the quality of life that the person is leading, which are the most fragile areas, whether emotional or spiritual. Probe the details to attack successfully.
The Apostle Paul said: "Do not ignore the machinations of the enemy"
Although it is dangerous to ignore the machinations of your enemy, more dangerous is to ignore the truth of the word of God!
Jesus Christ said:
"You know the truth and the truth will set you free ..." (John 8:32)
I saw a movie where young rebels and revolutionaries fought for justice. And in the midst of so many struggles and afflictions, one of them spoke: WE INHIBIT FREEDOM. This phrase struck me.
CHRISTIANS ARE HEIRS OF FREEDOM
We are free in Christ Jesus. He made us free by paying our debt with his precious blood. And, many times, we have the awareness of that price, but we behave as unworthy and miserable. Or simply, I can live the life I want, because something bad can happen with others, not me. Does that story know that things only happen to the neighbor? That is where cheating lives. Satan loves breaches.
We are a chosen people, elected generation.
We can not neglect the return of Jesus as if that promise were something surreal of the world of which he tells stories. The signs before our eyes reveal that their surroundings are close.
Why we inherit freedom?
If the Church sleeps, many others die spiritually and physically without knowing the inheritance of freedom.
We inherit the freedom to speak of the great love that liberated us.
We inherit the freedom to teach those who are oppressed that in Christ Jesus there is a power of liberation, salvation and healing.
We inherit the freedom to say NO the things of the world.
We inherit freedom as children of God.
Be firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ made us free, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5: 1
