The Fourth of July is a great celebration of our independence as a nation. Each year people gather together and set off fireworks and enjoy the pleasures of being free. Yet Jesus went further then just helping us to be free as a nation. Each individual (IN CHRIST) has been freed from sin and the degradation that accompanies it’s stronghold. When we declare his righteousness, and have faith in his blood, we can walk free and walk with God without a sense of sin consciousness. He now treats us as he did His original covenant people when they walked in accordance to his word. They were kept free from disease. They were utterly shielded from destruction. They were preserved as they traveled from place to place. They walked in prosperity and were made wealthy. They got in on the covenant made to Abraham. Thank God, Jesus grafted us into the original family!
Walk in righteousness and declare your independence from sin and it’s ravaging affects.
Gal. 3:29
29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
