Liberty For All

Liberty: The condition of being free from confinement, obligation, restriction, conditions...

Our liberty in Christ rests in the perfection of Jesus Christ. I am imperfect, yet I am perfectly loved by God, freeing me to grow in my Christianity, to become more like Jesus, and to be free to learn and grow in Christ Jesus through the transforming power of His Living Word. 

We mess with our own freedom by damaging the liberty we have received as we shook off bondages of condemnation from the enemy of our soul, just to take them back. There is a great scripture in Galatians 5:1 for those of us who know we are imperfect, yet perfectly loved, to remind us that we do not need to put on a former bondage of condemnation as there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.

At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past. Galatians 5:1

We are loved unconditionally! Are you loved that way? I know you are. God loves us unconditionally. God is really good at encouraging us to grow through without the condemnation that human beings like to plaster on us, but in a different, more graceful way, Jesus will correct our course with gentle conviction and unconditional love, navigating us back on the right course.

Things can get a bit “wonky” here on earth with imperfect human beings in relationship with other imperfect human beings. We can be so mean spirited to one another and when we don’t measure up to what others think is the perfection they need to stay in relationship with us, they leave and turn their backs on us. A Shunning Rejection! Human beings shunning other human beings, when they have the very same human condition, and are not perfect and never will be perfect. Sounds kind of foolish, but it does happen. Yet God, He loves us more than we could ever imagine or hope for and He has not left us, forsaken us, shunned us, rejected us, He keeps working towards growing us through with His grace and mercy, forgiving and forgetting.

People shun or ghost people. But, the crazy thing is that even God does not do that, shun people. God gives people room to grow, that is what His grace does by giving us the blessing of His Presence when we don’t deserve it, and His mercy withholds what we do deserve. Therefore it is very arrogant for human beings to not do the same, and it is almost a form of narcissistic control over people by threatening to withhold your presence from them because you don’t measure up to their standards of behavior that they have set up the boundaries for. There is no true boundary that can be set on a false accusation.

God knows when an accusation is true or false, so another person’s judging of your motives has no real value, because only God could know whether your motives are perfect or imperfect. False accusation is a difficult thing to navigate through with godliness, especially for us imperfect human beings. This is why we depend upon the navigation of the Holy Spirit in these kind of rough life waters and we lean into His perfect love which always creates in our soul the atmosphere of imperfection which is imperfectly perfect in Christ Jesus. We are loved. We are imperfect but perfectly loved by God.

Yet God, when we accept Him in our heart, the truth sets us free indeed. We should never return to the condemnation of our enemy. The truth is that God, He loves us in the perfect kind of way, yes He loves the imperfect, perfectly, and that makes us imperfectly- perfect in His eyes. Being loved unconditionally by God put the perfect in our imperfect human condition. Being in relationship with God is a great adventure because He knows us better than anyone else could ever know us and He teaches us how to take our uniquely shaped personality and wholly-holy align it with His character. You see, our imperfect is covered by His perfect:

For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God through our union with him. 2 Corinthians 5:21
