An important reminder on what keeps us from being truly free
Jesus said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Matthew 28:18). As believers, we have Christ and never need to be afraid. Yet its also true that we are not immune to the effects of evil. Christ has conquered sin and death, but in his infinite wisdomfor reasons that are often difficult for us to understandevil is still permitted to exist. Even if were saved and trust in Christ, we may still find areas in which we just cant get victory. Maybe its a sin weve confessed again and again or a constant struggle with depression, anger, or lust. These long-imbedded patterns of shameful living continue to entangle us day after day, month after month, and even year after year.
In TrulyFreebest-selling author Robert Morris invites us into a glorious truththat the promise of being set free from the slavery of sin is a promise to be set freecompletely. Although evil is real and Christians can be oppressed by it, we have the promise that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus saves us, trains us to resist the power of evil, and delivers us from anything that holds us back. With Jesus, we can be truly free forever.
