free

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation.

- Colossians 1:21-22

 

Mid-May finds many of us celebrating graduations.

Graduations from pre-K, kindergarten, grade school, junior high, high school, college, even specialized schools such as nursing, veterinarian, law, all kinds of graduations.

Graduation signifies a special sort of freedom – we are now established in our knowledge of what ever we are graduating from and are ready to move on.

We have another graduation to freedom when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  

We become established in the knowledge that we are free from sin, because He died for us on the cross.

But guess what?

Just like when we receive that diploma that shows we have completed our course, it does not end there.

Now it is time to go out into the world, get a job in our field of choice and make a living.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are free from sin, but we have to go out into the world and make our living in this freedom, we can’t go back to dong the same thing we did before, we have to live like we deserve His grace, even though we really don’t deserve it.

We are holy in His sight – let’s start acting like it.
