(Based on a message by Phil Robertson)
You want to talk about freedom?
Let’s talk about release from Satan.
Let’s talk about being free from sin.
Let’s talk about being free from guilt.
That’s what I’ve got.
I can put my head on the pillow at night — and my guilt is gone.
God took it away through the blood of Jesus.
Now you might ask —
"You mean to tell me I don’t have to follow a strict code of works to be saved, like under the Law of Moses?"
That’s right.
We’re not saved by perfectly keeping the law.
We’re saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
All I have to do is trust God, put my faith in His Son, and follow Him.
And the blood from heaven is there 24/7 to keep me clean.
You get in Jesus — because He was perfect.
When you’re in Him, God views you as perfect.
In Him there is no sin.
That’s where you’ve got to be — in Him, by faith.
And here’s what clinched it for me —
I didn’t write this. I’m just quoting it.
After the resurrection —
Jesus stood on the earth.
At first, they thought He was a ghost.
He said, “Hey, come up here. Touch me. A ghost doesn’t have flesh and bone.”
He had just come out of the ground.
Then He said — “Y’all got anything to eat?”
They gave Him some fish.
He sat there eating — after three days in the grave.
Alive. Resurrected. Flesh and bone.
That’s no ghost — that’s the risen Son of God.
When I heard that, I said —
“I’m fixing to follow Him now.”
That’s why I follow Jesus.
He conquered sin.
He conquered death.
And He’s alive — flesh and bone, eating fish.
You should follow Him too.
Put your faith in Him. Trust Him.
