Explain, in your own words, the freedom we have as a result of Christ’s work and how that impacts your life.
-
We experience true freedom in Christ by knowing Him, walking in His ways, and engaging with the changes He makes in and through our lives as we focus on service to Him and to others.

A few years ago, I abruptly left a toxic decades long marriage. By this time, I was unemployed and disabled. Of course, there were some frightening moments after leaving, but I knew Jesus had freed me. I knew He was walking with me. Soon after, I had begun to study the fruit of the Spirit. It has definitely taught me a lot. When all you have heard is lies, insults and reprimands, you lose sight of what love, truth, peace and joy really are. So, I would try to share them or see them in others. It has been a beautiful thing to watch. And, I have learned so much. This new found freedom is more than I could ever have imagined years ago..

I am always amazed how Jesus Christ came to die for our sins. All that He experienced, all done out of love for each of us. And that we receive not only forgiveness of our sins, we are also granted freedom and liberty. Freedom from fear, Satan, and worldly desires.
I had always been taught forgiveness (as I’m sure most of us have) but the freedom that comes with that is so profound.) I love the fruit of the Spirit and have been surprised many days how I can share them with others. Reaching out to others has been extremely healing for myself.
