What is freedom worth to you? Many have given their lives for it. Many long for it, still others who have it, abuse it. Many don't understand it, and few treasure it. But what about spiritual freedom? What does that mean as a believer? Freedom from what? Should it be treasured or feared?
Believers are often taught to fear grace as part of the Christian walk. When people speak about grace there always seems to be a caviat; "better be careful with grace...that can lead to license." Grace is ultimately risky, as with ANY freedom. Too many live fearfully thinking God is displeased with them and they fall into the trap of trying to do good to make-up for the bad. Grace sets us free though, it's the antedote to slavery and a doorway to freedom in Christ! We are free to be all that God made us to be and free to love.
