Devotional Day 4, Tuesday, Feb 2, 2010
Free at Last
Romans 8:5-13 ~ But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.
She was a slave. She hadn’t believed the rumors of people snatched from their huts and abducted to an unknown land until it happened to her. Chained for months in the dungeon-like hull of a ship, she feared she would die in bondage. After she endured years of hard labor and merciless beatings, the Union army marched into her town. Now an officer stands before her. “You are no longer controlled by your master. You are free.”
He was in a gang. Not by choice. As gangs warred in his neighborhood, he needed protection. Trying to stay neutral brought threats to him and his family. Soon after he joined, he was forced to make his first drug run. Later came gang fights, vandalism and robberies. Late one night, while holding a loaded gun to the head of a boy from a rival gang, his heart screams, I don’t want to be controlled like this anymore!
He was addicted. The first drink slid down easy. So did the second. A year later, getting drunk was a way of life for this grade 12 student. Without it he couldn’t have any fun, couldn’t fit in, and couldn’t escape ugly stuff at home. But when one of his drinking buddies landed in a coffin after a party, this student decided enough was enough. As he stands before a group at the finish of a rehab program, he declares, “I’m and alcoholic, but I no longer drink. I’m free!”
Some people get the freedom they want. Others only hope for it. But the great news in Romans 8 is that the strongest chains have been broken. All of us, the Bible says, were born as slaves to sin, shackled by a habit of evil we can’t escape on our own.
But Jesus changed all that. When you trust him, the chains fall off. Because of the power of the Holy Spirit, you don’t have to sin anymore. Yep, you will sin from time to time because of your own weakness, but you don’t have to sin. You can choose to be controlled by the Holy Spirit instead of your sin. You are free.
Prayer:
Dear God – You sent Jesus to die in order for us to be free from sin. We want your freedom in every area of our lives.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
