“True freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but about doing what God wants us to do.”

Jonah Edwards · Freedom of Will

Scripture

John 8:34, 36 Jesus answered, “Very truly I say to you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin… So if the Son sets you free, you will be free.”

Reflection

The Lord Jesus reminded me that a sinner is a slave to sin, a statement that pierces the heart. I often thought freedom meant living according to my own desires and pursuing the results I wanted, but in reality, emotions, desires, pride, and laziness often pulled me away, making me think I was "free" when I was actually bound. True freedom is being released from sin, having my heart renewed by God's word, and being willing to obey Him, love Him, and live in the truth. May I return daily to the grace of Christ, allowing Him to guide me, rather than letting my selfish desires dictate my direction.
