If you want to be free then you have to let go

from Abiding Shepherd · host Abiding Shepherd

There are some things in life that hold us back when the solution is right in front of us. “If you want to be free, then you have to let go!” God’s Law is good, but when we look at it the wrong way, it enslaves us. Letting go of the law doesn’t mean we throw it all out. It means that because  Jesus fulfilled the law for us, we are free to choose to live God’s way. Through faith our attitude and motivation now changes. We get to begin to live the  way we were meant to! It’s a simple formula, but letting go is hard for us to do. That’s why we go again and again to the Means of Grace where the Spirit works in us. We tend to try to live good enough lives for Jesus, but the truth is that  Jesus has made us good enough, now we get to live! 5.30.21 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nathan Krause
