106: Freedom in Jesus/Happy Independence Day | Galatians 5:1

We have been given freedom in Jesus! #4thofjuly #happyindependenceday

Happy 4th of July! In Indiana, it is raining, but I don’t think that will stop people from blowing stuff up in my neighborhood! Ha! In light of today’s holiday, I wanted to take a few minutes and talk about the freedom we have in Jesus. Before we knew Christ, we were all in bondage to sin. So many people think that Christians have no choices and have so many rules. But the opposite is actually true. Yes, we live our lives with discipline, but this discipline gives us a bright future full of choices. The false freedom of sin actually is like chains around you, squeezing out your future. There are consequences to your choices. So, today, let’s celebrate the freedom of our country AND the freedom we have in Christ! And let us NEVER go back to the old ways of sin.

One Verse is a short, free podcast devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
