Being Free Forever

 Today we all live under various laws and masters. Believe it! It’s true… We must obey the laws of the country we are residents in. We must obey our city’s bylaws and everything that is criminal. That’s why there are laws in place, for our well-being. Unfortunately, in today’s life we live with countries ridden by crime and lawlessness. Men are very drawn into such lifestyles which mostly end up with disastrous outcomes. That’s life! Is this your opinion or saying? There is something better, much better than such lives and ways of living. Even in our business world crime is committed, i.e. espionage, corruption, and many more I’m not mentioning here. Where does it start? From the top order of many governments, not always necessary the leader of the country, but at times they are part of the process.

Woman are also involved, but a much smaller percentage compared to men. There is another way we should be living though. Let’s see what Romans 6: 14 has to say about this; “For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.” What is this verse telling us? Let me elaborate further… In the Old Testament everyone lived under the Law of Moses, all believers and followers of our God lived in ways that went according to the Law. Yes, the Ten Commandments is something we must obey and other areas of the Law as prescribed then. But we are alive today under God’s grace, his unfailing love for us. Jesus Christ freed us from sin when He paid the price for our sins on the cross on Calvary. He is our Redeemer… He paid for our sins in full.

Sin should now not be ruling our lives if and when we confess that we are believers in Jesus Christ. When we have repented from the past sinful lifestyles we led, we are freed forever. Because of God’s loving grace, the redemption of our sins and past lives, we are free. Who becomes our Master now? God our Creator and our Lord and Saviour becomes our Master. This is better than the master of sin; he who is called Satan, the devil. Our new lives should be lived as follows… “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” [Joshua 24:15 (c)]. Can you see the difference between living under the law to living under grace? The Law leads you to see the sinful nature of your life and most times you love what you see. God’s grace, His unfailing love, releases you completely from that nature of life you are leading. How you may ask? Jesus’ death for our sins; this is God’s grace and love for us. Being free forever.

Men! I challenge you today to seek God our Saviour, our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. In this manner you’ll be freed from the clutches of the law and enjoy a new future life under God’s loving grace. Which do you prefer? Grace or law? I decided to accept Jesus Christ because His grace freed me forever. The law kept me entangled in my sin and, no matter what you try, in the clutches of the father of lies. God’s grace was completely different. I’m free and under grace; His unfailing love. Need more? Do you need help? Contact me any time at nelson.canha@gmail.com [for all men worldwide]. Enjoy!
