January 19

Sin enslaves but freedom is found in righteousness.

It is not our righteousness but His.

It is the life of Christ dwelling in us.

Christ died to set us free from the condemnation of sin.

He rose again to set us free from the power of sin.

The old is gone; crucified with Christ.

Freedom is our inheritance in Christ; we are a new creation.

We are set free to serve in righteousness;

united with the life of Christ;

and filled with His love.

Sinful habits cannot hold us when the love of Christ leads us.

Freedom is found in Jesus;

in seeking after His righteousness;

and by His power working through us.
