Freedom

True, lasting freedom comes from true inner peace. The peace that can only be found through Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27

This peace can be found when we repent of our sins, confess them and forsake them, and follow Jesus Christ. Some may think that by following commandments we are not free, but contained by rules. This is false. It is through sin that we are contained, chained, captive, damned, imprisoned, and held hostage. If we give into our carnal desires than we are under their power and it is their will that we follow.

However, if we are free from sin then our hearts and spirits are free through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Yes, repentance is painful, the greater the sin, the greater the pain. After repentance, the purity is liberating. No longer are we weighed down or burdened by guilt and sorrow. Our load is lightened when we put our faith and trust in the Savior.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."      Matt 11:28-30

Jesus Christ takes upon himself our burden and in return gives us his yoke which is light because he has done no sin. He lived a perfect life free from sin so He had no sorrow or guilt of His own to weigh him down. In Gethsemane He took upon Him all the suffering of the world that he may redeem us. He suffered all that we might live. He saved us from death through resurrection and from spiritual death if we repent and follow Him. Jesus Christ is our SAVIOR, REDEEMER, LIBERATOR.

"O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which ye are bound, which are the chains which bind the children of men, that they are carried away captive down to the eternal gulf of misery and woe." 2 Nephi 1:13

Overcoming our weaknesses and temptations and all the CHAINS with which Satan ensnares us, through Jesus Christ, we are set FREE. If you desire freedom in your life, turn to the One who sets us all free from death and hell, the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.
