Bible Verse of The Day – 4-29-20

Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Stand fast: Remain where you are. Don’t stray. Don’t wander. Don’t leave where you are.

All of these indicate that if we are in Christ, we need to stay put, not wandering from where we are.

We have been given salvation, liberty, and freedom from the bondage of the law and of the flesh, by God’s grace.

By this salvation, Christ has made us free!

Never again should we be entangled, enslaved or burdened by the yoke of bondage, manmade religion and rituals, with its rules, laws and burdens.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could brush off what He did and tangle ourselves up in the bondage of religion.

On the contrary, He died to set us free from these types of entanglements.

The verse above was written by Paul, warning Christians of that time not to allow themselves to become tied up in the Jewish law.

In today’s times, there is even more that we can get caught up in, causing us to forget what Jesus did for us, and, more importantly, why He did it.

He died not only to save us from our sinful selves, but also to allow us access to the Father, without having to jump through hoops to obtain that access.

Stand fast, and do not be entangled again.
