Most Christians can rattle off a laundry list of reasons that Jesus came, lived a sinless life, died, and rose again. Eternal life and forgiveness of sins sit right at the top of the list in most people’s minds, as do love and reconciliation, but one reason is often conspicuously missing: freedom.
Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 5:1, “For freedom Christ has set us free.” Jesus did something that made us free, and the reason he made us free was so that we would actually be free.
If this is true, why don’t we talk about it more in our churches? Why isn’t freedom the center point of our evangelism or even more controversially, our discipleship? Our culture LOVES to talk about freedom and Christians (who have a corner on true freedom) are eerily silent on the issue.
Our pews (and chairs) are filled with people who don’t feel free…not in the slightest. Sinful urges dog them every day, churches and pastors (sometimes unknowingly) shame and guilt them into a standard of living that is utterly unreachable, and just mention prayer to most Christians and they can feel the chains of guilt shackle around their consciences.
If Jesus set us free, why don’t we feel free?
