Not Locked Up

7/10/2015

"But the Scriptures picture all mankind as sinners shut up and imprisoned by sin, so that the inheritance, blessing, which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ the Messiah might be given, released, delivered, and committed to all those who believe, who adhere to and trust in and rely on Him." -Galatians 3:22 (AMP)
In a movie I recently watched with my daughter, there were scenes of an animal shelter with the animals in cages.  My daughter was upset that the animals were kept in cages, locked up and seemingly unhappy.  As we look at ourselves and our society, we can make some connections to the locked up and unhappy animals.  

Our sin locks us up and imprisons us, but like the animals in the movie, we have someone willing to adopt us and give us a forever home!  We have someone who is willing to adopt us and set us free!  God has provided His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can be released from our sin and brought into God's forever family.  Through belief and trust in Jesus, we are no longer locked up by our sin.  We are free, blessed receivers of an eternal inheritance from God!



Don't let sin lock you up.  Believe in Jesus and be set free!


Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for Your gift of redemption through Jesus Christ, Your Son.  Help me to always rely and trust in His Promise.  In His name I pray, amen.
