Jesus Brought Us Near

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.  Galatians 5:1 NET

The promise of the Gospel is that in this “present evil age,” we can live free from the dark despair Jesus Christ has saved us from. 

We were alienated from our Heavenly Father, but Jesus brought us near. He set us free because God wanted Him to, and in obeying Him, we are given access to every good and perfect gift the Lord offers when we walk within His will. 

The Gospel is a message of freedom. It breathes life into us. Each time we read the Bible we are renewed.   We know this firsthand because we have been made free. 

With Jesus as the centre of our lives have experienced the joy of liberation. Revival in our hearts. We were dead and now we are alive. We were lost and now we are found.

We have been gifted freedom with the purpose of ensuring others also find freedom. My friends, you, me, each of us, has been revived from a worldly death for a reason.
