Freedom

Freedom ~ Reach Up to Heaven!!!!”It is for freedom that Christ has set us free….”–Galatians 5:1This “liberty” makes us free to heaven’s charter–the Bible. Here is a passage, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you’ (Isaiah 43:2) You are free to that. Here is another: “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be …removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you. (Isaiah 54: 10) You are free to that.
You are a welcome guest at the table of the promises. The scriptures is a never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace. Reach up to heaven, the scriptures is the bank of heaven; you may draw from it as much as you please, without hindrance. If you come in faith you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise in the Word which will be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let this freedom comfort you; in the waves of stress let it cheer you; when sorrows surround you let it be your solace. This is our Father’s love-you are free to it at all times. You are also free to the throne of grace. It is the believer’s privilege to have access at all times to His heavenly Father.
Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before Him. It does not matter how much we may have sinned, we may ask and expect forgiveness. It signifies nothing how poor we are, we may plead His promise that He will provide all things as I need them. We have permission to approach His throne at all times–in midnight’s darkest hour, or in noontide’s most burning heat. Exercise your right, and live up to your privilege. You are free to all that is treasured up in Christ–wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It does not matter what your need is, for there is fullness of supply in Christ, and it is there for you. Reach up to the heavens!
What a wonderful “freedom” is ours! Freedom from condemnation, freedom to the promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter heaven in Jesus name!
