Set Free

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”

-1 Peter 2:24

So often I feel guilty, I feel sad, and I feel defeated. I fail and I fall short time and time again. The gloom and despair that many of us feel on a seemingly regular basis does not have to persist because Jesus took care of it once and for all when he was on the cross. Sin, guilt, despair, and sadness have no place or hold in our lives because by HIS wounds WE have been HEALED and SET FREE! He took away the sin, he took away the sorrow, he freed us from the guilt, he healed the brokenness, he drove out all the fear, he mended all the pain, he overcame all sadness, and he conquered the grave once and for all. That is MY God!

“For you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you OUT of darkness INTO his wonderful LIGHT.”

-1 Peter 2:9 (emphasis added)
