The Alpha of Liberty


UV 3078/10000 The Alpha of Liberty
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts
Psalm 119 v 45
It is said that while knowledge is power, wisdom is liberty. When we diligently seek , study and do what the word of God asks us to do, we gain wisdom and thereby, live in liberty from the bondage of sin. To live on earth under the laws of heaven is the kingdom of God on earth. The ultimate liberty is not political, economic or social but spiritual freedom. We learn the truths of eternal life that no other person or book or experience can teach us. Knowing the truths of eternal life and understanding the will of God gives us liberty. We can no longer be bruised by the enemy of our souls.
Scripture says that we learn the will of God precept by precept, line by line. Precepts are guidelines for conduct, for communication, for relationships. Every day as we apply our hearts and minds to learn, understand and do in accordance with these guidelines our lives are set in order. Scripture says that the steps of the righteous man is ordered by the Lord. We are set free as we walk in the paths indicated by the word from all types of inhibiting fears, guilt, afflictions. The foremost fear we are set free from is the fear of death thanks to the Resurrection of Jesus. The bondage of sin and death are broken in one blow by the death and resurrection of Jesus. The enemy’s will is to have us confined, restrained and in bondage to him but the Lord’s will is that we live the abundant life, a life of liberty and full of joy.
We are set free from the burdensome traditions of man, of religion and superstition. The Lord has set us free to fulfill our purpose and potential in Him. Our faith in Him Is liberating. We are liberated from the tendency to try to please all other people. We now have to only please one person and that is the Lord Himself. We are set free from all earthly worries. We are set free from being anxious about the future. We are also set free from boredom and loneliness as we are in constant communion and fellowship with the Tri-une God.
