You're FREE!!

Have you ever thought about what that means?? It struck me on New Year's Eve, but I ahven't had much more of a chance to think about it since then, but some references that I have found are as below.......

1Peter
(2:13) Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, (2:14) or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. (2:15) For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. (2:16) Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God

James
(2:12) Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom

(1:25) But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

Eph
(3:12) In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. (3:13) I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.


Galations
(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.


Psalm
(98:1) Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvelous things;
his right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.


So a challenge.. to sing a new song... of Freedom in Christ!
