So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. 

John 8:36 NLT

Many people refuse to live under the guidance of God’s Word, they feel it is too restrictive to the lifestyle they desire. However, what many don’t realize is not living by the guidance of the Holy Spirit is not freedom but bondage. The first picture in the Bible of true freedom comes from the Garden of Eden, God provided everything for Adam and Eve all they had to do was enjoy the provisions. They were given instructions that set boundaries around their relationship with God, eat of ALL the trees in the garden with the exception of one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Remember they were given free choice just as we have today. Unfortunately, our first parents chose to disobey, their disobedience formed a bridge in our relationship with God called sin. But out of God’s love, he provided a way out for us through Jesus precious blood on the cross destroying the power of sin in our lives. The enemy still works to steal, kill and destroy he wants nothing more but to bring mankind to his level of ultimate destruction. But Jesus came to bring us life. (John 10:10) God isn’t holding anything from us he is actually protecting us and giving us instructions to live a life of purpose and peace. God is a God of love and takes pleasure in His children desiring them to prosper in every area of their life. (Psalm 35:27) Living your life in the obedience and guidance of God will always unfold promise, peace, and provisions from the hands of the Father. 

Thought

True freedom is only obtained through the righteousness of God, freely given to us by Jesus sacrifice on the cross its called GRACE.
