Jesus said, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). Believers are free in Christ from the condemnation of sin, the curse of the law, and eternal judgment. He purchased freedom for every believer at the cross by his own blood. Believing the truth of Jesus Christ makes us free indeed.
Christ makes us free from the bondage of sin. Jesus said, "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed" (John 8:36). That's freedom from the bondage of sin, guilt, shame, and fear. All of us have been prisoners to the bondage of sin, until we are free in Christ. All who call upon the Lord Jesus Christ are free indeed. "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13).
Christ makes us free from the old life in the past. We are free from the past with a new beginning. We are forgiven of everything that we have ever done wrong. We are reconciled to God and renewed in Christ. God is working all things together for our good, according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
Christ makes us free from the guilt of sin. Believers are cleansed from all sin (1 John 1:7). God has justified us by faith in Christ. Our sin debt is paid in full at the cross. We have a new life, even everlasting life in Christ (Romans 6:23). Thank God Almighty! Be free in Christ, free indeed.
