1 Pet 2:16

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

Did you know that you are free? It’s true, for who the Son sets free is free indeed. When we come to Jesus we are set free. But we must make a choice. How do we live with that freedom?  Do we use our freedom as an excuse to do whatever we want? That’s not real freedom, it leads to shame and covering sin up, which brings guilt and anxiety and a whole host of troubles – or it can lead to getting stuck in chains. That’s a poor use of freedom. 

Or… we can use our freedom from sin to be good servants of God. To do things that please our Father. To help change the world. 

Now that’s a good use of freedom.
