GOD'S FREEDOM IN LOVE
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.
The world defines freedom as a life with no restraints: "We can do anything we want to do and say anything we want to say without anybody ordering us around." Everybody else may get burned by us, but we get to do it our way. Where is God's love in that freedom?
"No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us." (1 John 4:12)
The world says we can have our freedom, but only by acting selfishly. But the Bible says the only way to true freedom is through Jesus.
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
Real freedom is freedom from fear, where we are free from guilt, worry, bitterness, and death. We are free to quit pretending because we are free to be ourselves.
How do we get rid of those kinds of fears? By letting God love us and walking in His love.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18)
When we realize how much God loves us, we will begin to live in freedom. We worship God when we recognize that God is love. It is an act of worship. To agree that God is loving, caring and that we can rely on the love of God.
How has God shown His love to you?
Heavenly Father, I have freedom in You as You are my Father that loves me without measure. You so loved that You gave, and You give. The life of love and mercy is for me as Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Thank You for freedom in You, Father. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
