There are so many ways a Christian can find themselves in bonds and become captive to something. There are so many kinds of bondage we can fall into. Like legalism, works, trying to control your future, worrying about the future, or worrying about what other people think of you. We can also put pressure on ourselves to be something we are not. We can judge our walk with God based on how people react to you reaching out to them. We can try to finish in the Spirit what has begun in the flesh. But you can arise and be free from any of these things! You can be redeemed without money! There is no reason for a believer to be in the dust or in bonds. There is no reason for a Christian to be captive! God has put on strength, the power of His arm by the cross of Jesus Christ. He has overcome the enemy! He has made the way and given the strength of the Holy Spirit! He has prepared the garments of holiness and righteousness! He has purchased our peace and parted the Red Sea! Why would we not want to take advantage of these things He has made available to us? It is God’s will for His people to live in victory and freedom that is made available through faith! Do you want to be victorious? Look to Christ by faith! It is all in Him by faith! Our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption! But do you know His name? It is this truth in you and to you? Have you fallen into bondage? Are you lying in the dust? What rules over you? Rise up! Look to our Savior and be free!
