1 Peter 2:16
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

If you’re trying to eat healthier, you don’t spend all day thinking about donuts. Instead, you fill your plate with foods that will nourish you. In the same way, the Christian life isn’t just about avoiding sin, it’s about pursuing the freedom Christ has given you. Freedom to allow the fruits of the Spirit to grow deeper in your heart every single day.

Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

John 8:36
So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Everyone in the world sins. And the problem with sin is it becomes your master by keeping you trapped in your own bad choices. Thankfully, Jesus’ death and resurrection broke the power of sin in your life. And now, you can live in the freedom He freely gives.

1 Corinthians 6:12
All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be dominated by anything.

When you get a license to drive, it gives you the freedom to drive anywhere you want, but not any way you want. And it’s the same when it comes to your relationship with God. You have freedom to live in this world, but not any way you want. So, when you have a decision to make, it’s worth asking: will this help me grow closer to Christ, or will it end up controlling me?

1 John 3:18
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Actions speak louder than words. Imagine your neighbor just had surgery. You could tell them, “I care about you,” and those words would be meaningful. But bringing them a meal, mowing their lawn, or helping with their groceries puts that love into action.

Ephesians 4:15
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.

People have a way of testing our patience, which can make it difficult to speak the truth in love. Children can be unkind. Other drivers can cut us off. Even our brothers and sisters in Christ can say or do things that hurt us. In those moments, our natural response is often frustration, anger, or the desire to get even. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to something higher.

John 16:7
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

At first, it must’ve seemed impossible that anything good could come from Jesus leaving His disciples. And yet, once He left, it paved the way for our greatest Helper to arrive: the Holy Spirit. And until Jesus returns, the Holy Spirit is still with us guiding, comforting, strengthening, and helping us follow Christ each day.

Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

When the enemy’s lies get loud, there’s a place you can go to for shelter: God’s Word. And as you take refuge in it, you will find protection from the lies that seek to pull you away from Him. So, if those lies get loud today, run to His Word and stand on the truth.

John 8:31-32
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’

Making the Bible the place that you go to every day, is a gamechanger. Not only does it help you understand the truth, but it helps free you from believing lies, reminds you of your value, and lets you know where your identity is found.

Deuteronomy 1:31
There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.

When kids are little, their parents lovingly carry them everywhere they go: to the store, across the street, even to their rooms. And similarly, in difficult seasons God very clearly acts like that loving parent and carries us too. He is always taking care of His kids.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

If you were guarding a treasure, you would probably do everything in your power to make sure it wasn’t stolen. And yet Scripture reminds us that our faith is something worth guarding even more carefully. So, today ask yourself: how can I better guard my treasure?

Isaiah 40:31
Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

If you were climbing a mountain and needed a little pick-me-up, you’d probably grab a protein bar to give you the strength you needed to finish. But the strength Isaiah talks about isn’t something that comes from nutrients or energy drinks. It only comes from the Lord.
