Slavery

The world promises freedom but delivers slavery. Here’s what Peter tells believers as his life is coming to an end.

We are sinners and cannot pay our debt. Our best efforts fall short, so God did for us what we could not do for ourselves. He is our Ga-al, our Redeemer. He sent his son to release us.

But Jesus came as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world. On the cross, he paid sin’s penalty. He bought us back from sin’s slavery. He freed us from sin’s prison. 

There is this problem with things—we will never have enough. The desire for possessions is like a mosquito bite. The more you scratch it, the more it itches (Eccl. 5:10). We get pleasure from possessions…for a brief time.

He’s got your eternity covered. You can trust him for today.

God tells his people that because of who he is and what he has done, they can “walk with their heads held high.” And so can we!
