If you have never been physically incarcerated or experienced a lack of freedom then you will never understand what freedom is. However, if you have a vivid imagination then you will see that it’s something you would not wish on your enemy because God said to love your enemies and do good for them. But all of us have been spiritually, physically, emotionally and otherwise imprisoned because we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity; which means sin has captivated our minds, thus making us prisoners of the enemy of God.
But God refuses to let the enemy have his way with us, so He sent His only begotten Son to deliver us and liberate us from ever being imprisoned again. John 3:16 tells us that God loves us so much that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever chooses to believe on Him will not perish but have everlasting life. He sent Him not to condemn us but to deliver us (John 3:17). It’s so sad when people choose to remain and live in sin instead of being delivered. They have allowed the enemy to blind their eyes and as Bob Marley said in his song, “they think they are in heaven but they are living in hell,” because they fail to realize that the wealth of this world will perish with them.
Instead of trying to accumulate things on earth we should be giving thanks to our heavenly Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints of light. God has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of His Son and His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins as we see in Colossians 1:12-14. According to John 14:6 we see that Jesus is the only way out of the bondage of sin. Romans 8:1 tells us there is no more condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. So who or what are you walking after? Who or what are you searching for to be delivered?
As Colossians 1:19-22 points out what John 14:6 says, that it pleased God, our Heavenly Father that through Jesus, His Son we can be reconciled to Him. We were alienated from God because of sin, but Jesus delivered and reconciled us in the body of His flesh through death in order to present us holy, blameless and above reproach in His sight. That’s why we have to do as Romans 12:1-2 tells us in order to maintain our status. Then after we go through the process of being forgiven, delivered and set free, He seals us with His Holy Spirit.
