Walking in Freedom
Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani - 14 September 2025
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.””
Freedom is one of the greatest gifts of our new life in Christ. When Jesus died and rose again, He broke the power of sin and set us free from the chains that once held us. John 8:36 tells us that if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.
But here is the challenge—sometimes we do not live like we are free. Old habits, guilty memories, and negative voices can make us feel trapped again. That is why walking in freedom is a daily choice.
I remember meeting someone who had been set free from a difficult addiction. The change in their life was remarkable, but they told me that the real challenge was learning to walk in that freedom each day. They had to replace old routines with new ones, surround themselves with encouraging voices, and keep going back to God’s Word to remind themselves of the truth.
Walking in freedom means saying no to anything that tries to pull you back into bondage. It means forgiving when the enemy tempts you to hold a grudge. It means trusting God when fear whispers that you are not safe. It means choosing to see yourself as God sees you—redeemed, clean, and whole.
You do not have to fight for freedom, Jesus already won it for you. You simply have to walk in it.
Prayer of the Day:
Lord, thank You for setting me free through Jesus. Help me to live each day in that freedom, refusing to go back to the chains You have broken. Amen.
