Hello, Altered Stories Ministry Family,
We are about to celebrate our country’s Independence Day. In fact, this year will be 249 years that America has been a country, 249 years that we have been known as the land of the free the home of the brave.
Yet can you be free, but still be a slave? Yes, you can.
In John 8:36, the Bible says that whom the Son sets free, is free indeed. The question is, have you been set free? Are you a red-blooded patriot who loves their country, but when you lay your head down at night, you have a life of chains? Friend, if this is you, my challenge is this: take a look at the claims of Christ.
Take Him at His word, that He can take those chains, that you don’t have to be a slave anymore, and that when you are set free, you are truly free.
If you truly can say you believe Him and want that freedom that only He can give, then it comes down to accepting Him as Savior and Lord, believing
He is Who He says He is and confessing him publicly to others.
If you do this, then the Bible is clear that you are a child of God and that you are saved.
Embrace that freedom that He can give, then, when you celebrate this Independence Day and you will be celebrating more than the birth of a country. You will be celebrating your rebirth experience.
God bless,
Teresa
