Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Embrace Teachings of Jesus
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to embrace the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus said in John 8:31, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
One definition of freedom is “the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved.”
Jesus said that “everyone who sins is a slave to sin, so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
Jesus brings true and lasting freedom by His grace and truth. There is freedom from the guilt of the past, freedom from the control of sin in the present, and freedom from condemnation in the future. We are set free by Jesus to live, thrive, and love others as He loves us.
Embracing the teachings of Jesus is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
