Free

S - Scripture:
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed!!
O - Observation:
The exclamation marks at the end of this scripture are my addition to this amazing proclamation by Jesus. Notice Jesus doesn’t say anything about us attaining freedom by our effort or merit, but simply when He sets us free we are free indeed! His blood shed on the cross of Calvary was ample payment to set every man, woman and child free from the penalty of sin. The old hymn says “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, sin has left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow!” Isaiah1:18b Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white snow, though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
A - Application:
This freedom is the greatest gift of grace ever given to mankind! We have only to heed the Spirit’s nudging to claim not only freedom, but eternal life with all who believe in the Name of Jesus!
P - Prayer:
Gracious Father, give us all a full measure of Your Spirit so that we know beyond the shadow of a doubt that we are free indeed! In Jesus Name, Amen
