That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through!

Are you free? 38:39 no Paul says to the church at Galatia, “Christ has set you free” and “You have been called to live in freedom.” Over ten times in this letter, Paul uses some form of the word “freedom”. What does Paul mean by “freedom”? If we only have true freedom in Jesus, then what about those who are outside of Christ? They are in bondage, but so are those who are trying to follow the law or work their way to salvation. Why would anybody choose bondage after being set free? free, freedom, independence, celebrate, celebration, fireworks, party, candles, chains, salvation, bondage Paul says to the church at Galatia, “Christ has set you free” and “You have been called to live in freedom.” Over ten times in this letter, Paul uses some form of the word “freedom”.

Ourselves? Sin? What has us in bondage? 35:04 no Paul says to the church at Galatia, “So Christ has truly set us free.” What did Jesus set us free from? What put us in bondage to begin with? And the answer to that question is found in Paul’s letter to them, “The Law,” and in particular, they have listened to false teachers and have been convinced they, as Gentiles, need to be circumcised and follow the law. Paul makes it clear, if they follow the law, Christ is no effect to them, and they have been cut off from Christ. If you’re cut off from something, you have been removed and there is a separation. It goes back to the Garden of Eden, when man chose to sin, they were separated from God, and man has tried to reconcile that relationship ever since but everything we do is not good enough. It can only happen in Jesus! bondage, chains, free, freedom, jail, locked up, circumcision, circumcise, reconcile, reconciliation Paul says to the church at Galatia, “So Christ has truly set us free.” What did Jesus set us free from?

Are you connected? 41:43 no Paul says in verse 3, “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.” God has supplied everything we need to have a relationship with Him. We literally do not have any excuse except that we don’t want to have one! Every spiritual blessing, along with many other things including freedom, are available to us through Jesus! Why do people think that if they give their life to Jesus, they are giving up their freedom? Jesus IS freedom! freedom, free, chains, shackles, prison, jail, incarceration, incarcerated, incarcerate, blessing, Jesus Paul says in verse 3, “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.” God has supplied everything we need to have a relationship with Him.
