The Responsibility of Freedom

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

 

Freedom is a divine prerogative.  Freedom comes from GOD and it was given by GOD to Adam.  When Adam sinned, he lost his freedom.  Adam became a slave of sin.  For whatever a person succumbs to, to that he is enslaved (2 Peter 2:19b).  So, starting from Adam and through all of man’s generations, they all became slaves of sin. 

 

Since Adam lost his divine nature, he could not by his carnal nature ever conquer sin.  In effect, he abdicated his rulership over all the earth and all of its creatures and plants.  He abdicated control over his complete “self”.  By succumbing to the devil, Adam transgressed his right to be a “son” in GOD’s kingdom; and hence, all of his kingdom rights.  Adam lost the image of GOD!

 

As early as the 1950s, microbiologists have discovered that the human cell is more complex than what many thought it was.  As man advanced in technology, microbiologists were able to observe the human cell at more than 10,000x magnification.  They became aware of the role of DNA in the heart of a cell; specifically, how it determines the behavior of a human person.  Each DNA has a source code that determines the specific function of every protein that the body produces (and there are more than a thousand types of proteins).  Each protein that the body produces is created robotlike and functions specifically in tandem with other proteins.  To put it simply, these complex coordination determines the actions of a person; and these all came from a source code (akin to a program) that until today, scientists have not determined its origin.  Each human has at least 2 billion DNA, each with a chain of characters written in a long string that describes the personality of the person.  Scientists do not know who wrote these characters or its origin.

 

       But the Scriptures tell us. “Certainly you made my mind and heart; you wove me together in my mother's womb…” (Ps. 139:13).  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was fully GOD.  All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created.  In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind (Jn 1:1,3,4).  We know that GOD created all things by His word.  As believers, we are not surprised that the DNA has a string of characters that determine a man’s behavior.    has written destiny in our hearts; even in the heart of every cell in our body.  But this destiny will never be realized unless energized by the creative word of GOD.

 

      The believer is born by the imperishable seed of GOD’s word (1 Pet 1:23).  By the blood of His only SON, the FATHER created a new race of men (Eph 2:15b).  God has made us what we are. He has created us in YESHUA the Messiah to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do (Eph 2:10).  We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to ADONAI.  We were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of ADONAI, who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Pet 2:9).

 

      So, let us live as free people, and let us not hide behind our freedom to do evil. Instead, let us use our freedom to serve God!  For sure, the operative grace of YESHUA is only effective when we act in love.  Every believer has a divine nature and he is seated in the heavenly places in union with YESHUA.  Let us stop living like we’re walking with our hands and seeing the world upside down.  If we are truly seated with YESHUA, then we must exercise our divine perception and the grace that ADONAI has abundantly provided for the building of His kingdom. 

 

      Remember, your spirit is far bigger that your physical nature because He who dwells in you is greater that he who is in the world!  We are victors in YESHUA!
