There is much talk of liberty these days amidst endless litigation, extensive regulation, and high taxation. However, even if one has greater liberty in all of these areas, slavery to sin is still the main issue. To be free from the power of sin to worship the living God is the greatest liberty of all, for sin brings an infinitely greater magnitude of burden than lawsuits, regulation, and taxation combined.
Man was created to worship God, yet He exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever, Amen. He rejected true liberty and enslaved himself to sin. Nevertheless, where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, for Christ atoned for the sins of His sheep as the Good Shepherd.
Therefore, repent you wicked sinner, and turn to Christ placing of all your faith in Him, for He alone is the Living Hope that we desperately need. He alone sets men free from their bondage of slavery to sin to worship the One True and Living God.
It is a terrifying the thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, yet it is sweet joy when empowered to worship Him and not the vain trifles of this passing world of sin, disdain, and death.
To Him be the glory! Amen!
