Luke 1:68, 73-75, 78-79 TPT
68 "Praise be to the exalted Lord God of Israel, for he has seen us through eyes of grace, and he comes as our Hero-God to set us free! ... 73-75 He has rescued us from the power of our enemies! This fulfills the sacred oath he made with our father Abraham. Now we can boldly worship God with holy lives, living in purity as priests in his presence every day! ... 78 The splendor light of heaven's glorious sunrise is about to break upon us in holy visitation, all because the merciful heart of our God is so very tender. 79 The word from heaven will come to us with dazzling light to shine upon those who live in darkness, near death's dark shadow. And he will illuminate the path that leads to the way of peace."
Galatians 4:7 TPT
Now we're no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God's very own sons and daughters! And because we're his, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah!I have heard some sermons on how bad Hell will be, and I have heard a few sermons about Heaven, but generally, I think we don't talk enough about the incredible goodness of the Lord.
As John the Baptizer was raised in a Spirit-folled home, so I want to parent from a Spirit-filled framework (not a religious framework).
Father, thank you for your incredible mercy and grace! Jesus, thank you for illuminating our lives and setting us free from slavery to law, sin, and religion. Holy Spirit, help me live as a free son. I love you.
