Freedom is an Active Choice …

Galatians 5:13 ~ You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.?

Abba Father good morning ~ The ways of this world justifies everything with confusion, deception, excuses, desires of its own. While twisting words, facts, making captive statements. Everyone is doing it. Its feels right. No one’s watching. One time won’t hurt. It’s my life. I’m not perfect. The list goes on and on justifying living within a sinful lifestyle.?There is a difference between unhealthy sinning and actually living within a lifestyle of sinfulness.?Everyone is sinful. Imperfect people sinning in many different ways affecting lives, families, friends, strangers, all of life.?Sin has a way of growing slowly, festering, penetrating deep within our heart, our mind, our soul.?A way of gradually changing how we think. How we live within this world. Sin damages while infringing on relationships. Creating barriers of eternal separation with Our Living God.?Like weeds growing if not intentionally dealt with correctly. They slowly become embedded while gradually changing the beauty intended for our life.?Sin’s destructiveness becoming a barrier of eternal separation. We will be unable to live life at its best with unrepentant sin festering within our inner-core of thriving life. We must repent. Without true-repentance. Isolating separation will actually be drawing our life closer to the ways of this world and farther away from the ways of “The Lord Our God.”?Our Amazing Living God is actively loving this whole world. All of life. Our sinful life personally, unconditionally, intimately. Sinfulness is forgivable. A Living God breathing agape love with sacrificial forgiveness over the sins of our past. Turning darkest of dark into the purifying light of heaven. Engaging our life within everlasting freedom forever.?Our life can never go so far in the wrong direction, we can’t turn around. We can never travel so deep into the darkness that God’s agape love cannot penetrate with free-gifts of undeserved grace.?There is always a way to change direction. Turn-around. Live repentant. A way to be forgiven, redeemed, restored. It requires intentional action on our part. Truly-repenting of our past while boldly learning to say no to the ways of this world and yes to the ways of The Lord Our God.?True-repentance is intentionally changing direction. Accepting responsibility. Acknowledging sinfulness. Willingly living a new life of cleansing redemption. Forever restored within Our Lord Christ Jesus.?The living bible teaches to live purposely striving to live a worthy life of true-repentance.?An intentional lifestyle breathing all praise, all honor, all glory to God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. Our Living God is breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) within everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). This is living life at its very best. It’s forever life-changing. Remember. We are not perfect. We never will be. Our life will always be imperfect. We will always be sinful people. This is where God’s powerful gifts of undeserved grace become real. Sustainable, anointed, protective free-gifts breathing everlasting life in heaven into our sinful lifestyle absolutely-un-earnable, un-purchasable, un-creatable. Free-gifts of agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, life-changing freedom. All coming alive as our life willingly lives within true-repentance engaging our sinfulness. Our imperfect life with faith willingly believing, accepting, trusting, following within God’s only Son, our Savior, our best friend “Our Lord Christ Jesus.”?It actively comes alive admitting we are unclean, fallen short, need a savior who defeated it all.?Our Lord Christ Jesus was mocked, persecuted, crucified. Carrying all our sinfulness on a wooden cross. Shedding his own sacrificial blood for the sins within our life.?Lord Jesus actively breathed living hope into the whole world within a sealed tomb. Sacrificial forgiveness into our past within cleansing blood. Redemption to our life within the powerful resurrection. Restoration within true-repentance breathing a life change.?Something actively happens within our heart, our mind, our soul. There’s a transformation with desire to be different. Our life lives freedom within darkness. Remember ~ We have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. We can follow the ways of this world into satan’s eternal darkness forever.?Or willingly live believing, accepting, trusting, following within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. Willingly engaging a life of living hope, agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven.?This is actively living life at its best among a world of sinfulness.?

Father ~?Thank you for actively loving, forgiving, calling me family.?I am forever thankful, grateful, and cherish our intimate friendship. Our life lived together. Actively breathe anointed protective blessings of life-changing undeserved grace into my sinful life. Penetrating deeply within my truly-repentant heart, my cleansed mind, my redeemed soul. Help me live strong, live bold, live courageously, live fearlessly as temptations of this world’s sinfulness challenges my faith. My belief. My love. My intimacy breathing life at its best within you Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.
