Scripture: Romans 8: 1-2

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.   For the law of the Spirit of life has set you^[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Scripture Commentary: Jesus’ sacrifice has made us free!

Free at last, O mightly God, I’m free at last!  This is what Jesus Christ did for us when he went to the cross.  We were on death row, justly condemned for repeatedly breaking God’s Holy law.  (If you haven’t accepted Jesus in your life, you are still there!)

Without Jesus we would have no hope at all!

Jesus gave himself as a sacrifice for our sins.  But if you don’t turn from sin, what he did is lost on you.  You can’t say, “The devil made me do it,” if Christ is in your life.

Jesus’s sacrifice has declared us ‘not guilty’.  He has offered us freedom from sin and the power to do his will through the Holy Spirit which is the power behind the rebirth of every Christian.

We have a choice to make.

We have a choice to be controlled by our sinful nature or to follow the Holy Spirit.  Once you have said ‘yes’ to Jesus, you want to continue to follow Christ.

Ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you in accordance with God’s will.  Then, when you bring your requests to God, trust that he will always do what is best for we are truly free at last!
