When Jesus died on the cross for us, God nailed the sins of our past, emptiness, sickness, pain, and chaos to that cross. This is all our freedom that Jesus has paid for. The cross is a symbol of freedom.
1.Freedom from the Curse
Jesus has rescued us from the curse of the law. The law was the Old Testament. We don’t have to worry about losing God or being punished. Jesus made it so that our salvation is freely given. - Galatian 3:13
Sin is no longer your master. You live under the Freedom of God’s Grace. – Romans 6:14
2. Freedom from Condemnation
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. - Romans 8:1
You are not good enough, but Jesus is. If we were good enough, God would not have sacrificed his best to provide us with free lives. We are free from the guilt that condemnation brings.
Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. – 1 John 3:20
God did not send Jesus to condemn us. – John 3:17
No one will condemn us because Christ Jesus died for us. – Romans 8:34
Jesus is continually crying out for us. He desires for us to rely on him. When we reach for him, we experience freedom.
