Freedom
True freedom is a gift from God; it is
grace that only God can bestow. It is
not something we possess.
Christians are free from the slavery
to sin and can obey God in a way
that results in kindness. Thus,
freedom is used to advance
righteousness in the shape of
justice, honesty, equality, and other
virtues.
1 Galatians 5

Christ has set us free because he


loves us. So maintain your resolve
and resist letting a yoke of
enslavement fall upon you once
more.
Humanity was made in God’s
likeness, and he asked them to join
him in the expansion of his world.
However, a relationship involves
trust, which is why God granted
people the right to free will. Sadly,
the early people chose to put their
own judgment ahead of God’s.
“Every man has the right to practice
any religion he chooses, according
to both natural and human law, he
stated. Religion does not have the
tendency to impose itself by
coercion.” 2 0 A human right, the
freedom of religion must be
protected by the religion itself.
Man’s duty to follow his conscience
is sacred.
Freedom in Christ is the capacity to
do what is right rather than the right
to do what we want.
The power to do what is right rather
than the right to do what we want is
freedom in Christ. Without Christ,
we are powerless to overcome sin
and are therefore slaves to it.
His sinless life, which God accepted
in place of our sin-tainted lives, sets
us free from sin. As we gaze to Jesus
and see him make the price for
every sin, we are totally released
from the guilt and consequences of
our misdeeds. That payment was
accepted by God, who then
pronounced us “not guilty.”
The Christian worldview holds that
real freedom is not about doing
anything you want without
restraint, but about developing the
correct desires and following God’s
plan. Therefore, freedom is the end
result when our want align with
God’s will.
Therefore, those who are in Christ
Jesus are no longer under
condemnation, according to Romans
8:1-3. You are now free because of
the law of the Spirit of life.
Understanding that you are free
from the shackles, punishment, and
guilt of sin is crucial because it
increases your ability to love,
rejoice, experience peace, and enjoy
life thanks to Jesus.
God gave mankind something
exceedingly special when He created
him. Man was endowed with free
will so that he might make decisions
based only on his own free will.
God granted us freedom so that we
might freely choose to follow him
and do what is right, noble, and
lovely.
God granted us freedom so that we
might freely choose to follow him
and do what is right, noble, and
lovely.
Knowing Christ offers release from
the grip of sin and life in His
presence forever.
Grace is a prerequisite for freedom,
which is not grace itself.
Our freedom is built on God’s grace,
a certain gift that is made available
to us once more each morning.
Every error we commit is covered.
God’s grace gives rise to freedom,
and Christ has set us free in order to
enjoy that freedom. Our freedom in
Christ is given to us so that we can
reach all people, freeing us from the
logic of self-justification and
enabling an equality whose core is
graciousness.
We receive a new life through grace
that is not detested by God. Thanks
to God’s mercy
We are forgiven by God’s grace,
which changes the way we think and
causes a rebirth of the heart and
mind. We enjoy the kind of life that
God desires for each and every one
of His children because of grace.
Power is the capacity or ability to do
an action or behave in a certain way.
Purity is essential for anybody to
wield authority in the name of Jesus
Christ, and it is the key to doing so.
A believer’s assurance is found in
the name of Jesus. A believer only
needs this to succeed in life. Use it
to your advantage to win every
conflict.
He empowers the helpless and gives
strength to the weak. And when you
have endured a little while of
suffering, the God of all grace, who
called you to his eternal glory in
Christ, will personally restore you
and make you strong, firm, and
unwavering.
God’s power, the kind of power that
energizes the life and ministry of
every born-again believer, is not the
kind of “thing” that can be handled
or put in a bottle. It is God’s own life
force in its purest form. It is the
ethereal power that springs from
God’s essence.
Acts 1:8 says that the Holy Spirit
gives power, but that unbelief can
be removed and the power made
more obvious in your life via prayer
and fasting. Is it possible for a
Christian to be without the power of
God? Yes, it is feasible since you can
only obtain strength through prayer
if you hunger for it.
For the enormous problems of, God
grants particular, extraordinary
power.
For the unique problems of a
growing testimony for Christ, God
grants particular, remarkable power.
Jesus is the “name that is above
every name,” says Philippians 2:9.
But we must keep in mind that the
One who goes by the name “Jesus”
is the One who holds the great
authority, not just the name itself.
How can we find it?
God’s strength is made manifest
through our weakness. Jesus-
followers who are humbled by and
empowered by God’s love are what
the world around us needs. It is our
responsibility to use His power to
sway others around us for the
benefit of the world we live in and
for all of time.
You must be willing to let Christ’s
love into your heart. Pray about
finding Jesus. If you truly call out to
Him, He will hear you and respond.
You must not turn back to your sins
after asking Jesus to save you,
forgive you of your sins, and make
you whiter than snow.
For Christians, God’s strength does
more than only ease our suffering.
When we tap into God’s power, it so
completely permeates our existence
that it fulfills our soul and alters our
capacity to endure suffering. We can
now genuinely move past it rather
than just getting over it.
One cannot expect a particular
ability, result, or better situation by
merely uttering the word “Jesus.”
But the name of Jesus is valuable
and full of meaning.
The way the letters in His name are
arranged is not particularly
noteworthy. We wouldn’t even be
discussing Jesus’ name if He hadn’t
been God in the flesh who lived a
sinless life, died in the place of all
who would believe, and rose again.
True confidence in who Jesus is and
what He does for sinners is the
source of all the power that
Christians invoke in His name.
When one prays in Jesus’ name,
they are doing so in accordance with
His personality and will. When we
think that Jesus’ name is more than
just a string of letters but a
reflection of who He is, praying in
His name shows our faith in God’s
ability to answer our prayers
It is vital for us to guard against the
temptation to incorrectly use the
name of Jesus. The interesting tale
of seven Jews who tried to expel
demons in Ephesus using Jesus’
name is told in the Bible. These men
were unaware of Jesus. They had no
religious faith. Instead, they were
looking for a chance to shine and
the approval of others. They failed
to make the spirits leave because
they didn’t submit to God (James
4:7). “Jesus I know, and Paul I know
about, but who are you?” the
demonic spirit insulted the seven
exorcists, who were effectively
attempting to do magic tricks using
“Jesus” as their preferred
incantation.
The attempted magicians were then
beaten until they were bleeding and
naked by the evil spirit-possessed
man (Acts 19:13–16). These seven
men attempted to abuse the
authority of Jesus’ name for their
personal benefit, but we serve a
God who cannot be coerced or
deceived (Job 12:16).
The name Jesus refers to the entire
force of the powerful Creator
Himself, who saves His people from
their sins. When we do so with faith
in Jesus’ rescuing power and a
desire to obey God’s will, He gives
Christians the capacity to serve,
work, and pray in His name. Jesus
used His power to save sinners on
behalf of the Father, and His name is
the only one we can pray to for
salvation (Acts 4:12). Christians, who
have faith in the Person of Jesus,
experience God’s rescuing love as
adopted sons and daughters into His
family. The name of the LORD is a
fortified tower; the righteous go to
it and are safe when we call on Him,
participating in His might (proverbs
18:10)
This is significantly dissimilar to
spiritual strength, sometimes known
as “soft power.” This strength
consists of the capacities for love,
humility, compassion, and
forgiveness. This spiritual power can
only influence via virtue; it cannot
influence through force. It has the
ability to elevate and transform.
You can go through challenges by
having spiritual strength.
He provides examples of how
spiritual individuals overcome
challenges and carry on with their
lives in a purposeful manner. A
strong spiritual attitude may enable
you to find purpose in the
challenging circumstances of life.
Ephesians 2:9–11
Above all other names, the name of
Jesus Christ is the most potent
name.
The name has the power to provide
everything a Christian needs on
earth. Unfortunately, a lot of people
are vanquished by their foes on the
battlefield because they are
unaware of the strength that this
magnificent name possesses.

Faith: spiritual growth


Complete trust or confidence in
someone or something is called
faith.

How do you stay true to your faith?


Pray.
For the strength to love to your
greatest potential, pray to God, the
universe, or whatever higher force
you believe in.

God chose to put Abraham's faith
to the test to discover if he truly
loved and trusted God enough to
obey Him.

"You have the knife and I have the


wood," Isaac responded to his
father, "but where is the lamb to
sacrifice?" 'God will provide,'
Abraham said.

Abraham erected an altar and


recounted to God what he had been
asked to do. He then shackled Isaac
and placed him on the altar with a
rope. Even in death, Isaac was
obedient to both his Heavenly
Father and his earthly father,
therefore he did not resist.

"Stop!" God screamed out as


Abraham prepared to offer Isaac as
a sacrifice. God knows you love him
more than your son, so don't hurt
him."

morning.
It might be tough to keep faith in
the face of adversity. It's difficult to
believe in the good when everything
in your life appears to be
unnecessarily difficult or just plain
horrible. But it is at these difficult
times that faith is most crucial. In a
hurricane, it can be a life raft. And if
we are prepared to seek it out, faith
may always be restored.
Why should you believe in yourself
Here are a few references to faith in
the Bible.
"Now faith is the conviction of
things not seen, as well as the
assurance of things hoped for."
11:1 (Hebrews)
"And it is impossible to please Him
without faith, for whoever comes to
God must believe that He exists and
that those who seek Him are
rewarded."

11:16 (Hebrews)

Abraham is revered as the "Father


of the Faith" by Christians, who
regard him as a model of obedience.
"So also Abraham believed God, and
it was credited to him as
righteousness," writes the Apostle
Paul in his letter to the Galatians.
"Because I [God] have known
[loved, chosen] Abraham because he
directs his offspring and household
after him to keep the Lord's way to
do compassionate righteousness
and moral justice," says the Bible.

Those who believe in God and serve


Him refer to Abraham as "the Father
of God's Great Nation."

"Come outside your tent and look


up at the sky," God instructed him
one night. The sky was full of stars,
and the night was bright. "If you can
count the stars in the sky," God
promised, "you will have as many
offspring as there are stars in the
sky."
Abraham was a God-
believer.

"You are destined to be the father of


many countries," God told Abram
when he was 99 years old. "How can
that happen when I am so old?"
Abram questioned. "I'm giving you
the name Abraham," God said
(which means father of many
nations). You will be granted the
country of Canaan, as well as your
children. It will always be yours."
God was good to Abraham and
Sarah, and he blessed them with a
beautiful son. Isaac, which means
laughing in Hebrew, was Abraham's
son.

The faith of Abraham was put to the


test.

Would Abraham still adore God if


his only son Isaac was taken away?
God chose to put Abraham's faith
to the test to discover if he truly
loved and trusted God enough to
obey Him.
God asked Abraham to do
something unexpected one day after
Isaac had grown into a wonderful
young man who loved God and
always obeyed his father. "Take
your only son Isaac, whom you
adore, and journey to Moriah," he
urged. I want you to burn your son
as a burnt offering on one of the
mountains there."

Abraham's faith was put to the test,


and his obedience was rewarded by
God.
Abraham came across a ram with
its horns trapped in the thicket and
presented it to God as a sacrifice.
"Jehovah-Jireh," which means "God
will supply," is what Abraham
named the location.

"Because thou hast done this, and


hast not withheld only son, I will
bless you, and in multiplying I will
multiply your seed as the stars of
the heaven as the sand that is upon
the sea shore; and your seed shall
possess the gate of his enemies; and
in your seed shall all the nations of
the earth be blessed because thou
hast obeyed my voice,"
It's important to note that God
will never ask us to kill someone as a
means of putting us to the test.
God's deep love for His son Jesus
was demonstrated by Abraham's
experience, and He was willing to let
His Son die for our sins.

God could have summoned 10,000


angels to save Jesus, but He
understood that the only way for us
to be saved was for Jesus, God's
innocent and spotless Lamb, to
suffer for our sins.

When our Lord Jesus Christ, the


Messiah, was abused and crucified,
God's heart must have been broken.
God may require us to give up
someone we adore in our hearts and
physical world, whether through
death, divorce, or other means.

Complete trust and confidence in

It demonstrated the most powerful
rulers' frailty in the face of a
devotion to God that was greater
than their fear of death.
Faith is a heart-to-heart
communication. It's a hope that
exists outside of the conscious
consciousness. Everything we value
is based on our belief in people's
unrealized potential. History
demonstrates that the world is full
of cruelty, brutality, and unfairness.
Faith is a barrier against the evils of
the world, as well as a sure victory
and freedom from dread, worry, and
the threat of death and pain. Faith
can be defined as a person's or a
thing's confidence and trust in them.
Faith is defined differently by
each person: believing in something
or someone and having complete
trust in them. Religious faith is not
the same as non-religious faith.

Faith is highly important in our lives


since we must crucial to have faith
in both God and other people. At
times, you may need to put your
trust in friends, family, or others.
Faith has a multifaceted meaning
when used in the context of religion.
A bundle of beliefs is known as faith.
Faithfulness
The act of remaining unwaveringly
devoted to someone or something
and putting that commitment into
action in faithfulness. It can be
demonstrated by a husband or wife
who does not engage in extramarital
affairs. [1] It can also allude to
keeping one's promises no matter
what, as monks who take a vow of
silence do.
Faith is what gets us through the
difficult times, lighting the way in
the dark and offering strength in the
face of hardship. Without it, we are
nothing.
Genuine faith has an impact on our
day-to-day actions, such as our
driving attitude and how we treat
our family. However, it has an
impact on major life decisions such
as where we send our children to
school, the house we buy, and how
we spend our money.
You'll never be alone if you have
faith...
Your Work Efforts Will Be
Outstanding... You'll Attract Others
to Christ...You Can Forgive Others
When You Live Your Faith
It's simpler to be thankful
when you have faith.
Faith can assist you in making
critical life and career decisions.
Prayer can help you discern God's
plan for your life, comprehend your
spiritual gifts better, extend your
view of meaningful employment,
and make more confident decisions.
People will say things like, "I knew if
I just had faith, everything will turn
around!" when things are going
well.
When people don't know what else
to say, they'll say, "I'm sorry you're
having a terrible time." "Trust is all
you need."

Others may claim to "have faith"


despite their apparent indifference
to life's difficulties.

In the face of Goliath's height and


taunting, David's faith in God
enabled him to stand steady. "The
Lord, who rescued me from the
paws of the lion and the paws of the
bear," David assures the king, "will
rescue me from the hand of this
Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:37). David
fought the monarch first, then
Goliath, believing that God would
destroy the giant and save His
people.
Courage and strength are not the
same things, despite their common
association. What courage is all
about is the ability to do what scares
us, to act on our principles despite
the dangers, and to show bravery in
the face of sadness or pain. Courage,
like strength, is based on our faith in
something greater than ourselves.
Esther is a wonderful example of
a woman who was brave because of
her faith. She was always in danger,
not because of what she was doing,
but just because she was Jewish.
During a politically turbulent time,
Esther navigated the choppy seas
expertly and saved the Israelites
from an evil man's horrible
vendetta. Staying took courage,
though. Check out Esther 7 to see
how she defeated her adversary's
tactics and gained God's favor.
We all want to make it through the
day without erupting or having a
tantrum (despite how we feel at
times). We can find stability amid
chaos because of our faith in God.
When life feels out of control, we
take comfort in knowing that God is
in charge.
Have you ever come across
someone who seemed unbreakable?
Instead of pounding her head
against the desk when the computer
crashes, the coworker takes a deep
breath. As her children's last-minute
cries grow, the mother maintains
her cool.
The Bible's account of Daniel's life
shows him to be steadfast in the
face of adversity on several
occasions. Daniel was kidnapped
and forced to serve the Babylonian
monarch along with a large number
of other Israelites. This entailed
experimenting with different meals,
clothing, languages, cultures, and
other things. Daniel maintained his
faith in God despite being
imprisoned. He refused to eat the
foods that God had forbidden the
Israelites to eat, and as a result, God
blessed him (Daniel 1:1-8).
Faith can do a lot in your life
if you allow it to. It will assist you in
growing and achieving goals that
you never thought possible. It will
change you into someone who feels
that with God, anything is possible
(Matthew 19:26). What can you do
right now to take your faith to the
next level?
