It is strange but the fear of losing our freedom if we give Christ our life is the complete opposite as the truth. In Christ we have new freedom, we have true freedom.  We are no longer bound in sin’s chains; and are freed to live free from the threat of eternal death in hell.

New Found Freedom

Many believe there is a great list to follow to belong to Christ.
They feel it take great effort and that they lose all their rights.
A list of do not’s loom in their mind,
And a very hard taskmaster to keep them in line.
Some say, I will wait till I’ve had my fill
Then I’ll give in and do God’s will.
When I’m old and tired – it will be easier then,
Besides, if I go now I will lose all my friends.
But the One that loves them more than they can see,
Says, if you come now My strength you receive;
The terrible hold of sin’s chains will be released.
You will experience great inner peace.
New found freedom is more satisfying than you know,
For Jesus died to make you new and whole.
The list of do’s and don’ts are not an issue anymore,
For you will very much desire to please your Lord.
If you cross the line, you’re anxious to change direction for Him,
As you repent you’ve found freedom again.
Free to worship, free to praise, free to live without fear,
Free to know and to show your God is near.
The one that listens and hears what the Spirit says will see,
They have new found freedom in Me

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:31-32
