Ye shall be free indeed

This came from my daily devotional from Adrian Rogers (http://www.lwf.org/)

BIBLE MEDITATION: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Living a pure life means surrendering to Jesus Christ. But some people don’t want to surrender because they say they want to be free. What if a train said, “I don’t want to run on these tracks, I want to be free.”? Then off through the meadow it would go. What if the kite said, “I want to be free. I don’t want to be tied to a string.”? The string breaks and down it goes. What if a tree said, “I don’t want to be planted in the earth. I want to be free.”? And it is jerked up from the earth and dies. Everything that is truly free functions best when it functions as God made it. God made you to know Him and to love Him.

ACTION POINT: Write James 4:8 on a piece of paper. Memorize and apply it truth to your life.

(James 4:8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, double-minded ones.)
