Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
John 8:36
Christians have been set free. God’s people have been freed from those things that would bind them. “Free indeed” describes the state of the redeemed in no uncertain terms.
Believers are set free from the penalty of sin. Jesus paid the debt so that we could go free. (Ephesians 1:7) Liberty is the lot of those who know Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
God’s people are liberated from the guilt of sin. We are forgiven eternally in Christ Jesus and the condemnation has been removed. (John 3:17, Romans 8:1) Our Savior is mighty and wonderful!
Christians are loosed from the power of sin. The same power that raised up Christ from the dead lives within us and gives us fortitude to overcome sin (Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 10:13) The Saints have the strength they need to flee sin and run to Jesus!
Christians are free indeed. Jesus has set us at liberty and torn away our bondage. Remember this fact, Child of God. Live in this truth each and every day.
