A Fifth of Freedom

WARNING: Today’s edition of “Fresh-Brewed Daily” comes with Homework.

Christ has freed us
so that we may enjoy
the benefits of freedom.
— Galatians 5:1, The Names of God Bible

As I said here yesterday, I’m not making up the title of this translation; it’s genuine.

And yesterday I pointed out that Christ Jesus offers us a freedom that is to be enjoyed. That’s the first thing we sometimes overlook.

The second startling element in this verse is its emphasis on the benefits of freedom.

So today I invite you to join me in a fifth.

By which I mean the fifth chapter of Galatians.

Here comes the Homework I warned you about a moment ago —

1. Grab your Bible or search online

for Galatians 5

and read the rest of what it says

about our freedom in Christ,

and as you read through this chapter,

2.  Notice the benefits of freedom in Christ.

— You’re in for a treat!

See you back here tomorrow. Meanwhile, are you going to search online for Galatians 5 or are you getting your Bible and turning to it?
