A new thought on freedom

Have you ever had that moment when the imaginary light bulb goes off in your head and you got it!! Now mind you, understanding and living it are still two different things but understanding it is half the battle (the easy half) But it’s a starting point….
 God turned on my light bulb and helped explained to me a new thought on freedom. We are always in agreement as Christians that when Jesus died for our sins he set us free from our bondage and sins. He granted us freedom from our faults and the things we do wrong. Through His blood we are forgiven by our heavenly father. I just understood the second part of that deal. The freedom not just from the sins and wrongs I have done but in return the freedom to love others and forgive them of their wrongs. Not just because it is the right thing to do but…. #insertdRamatic/music….Because they deserve the same grace that was given to me, the same forgiveness I ask for they deserve it to. No matter if it is big or small but the FREEDOM TO LOVE OTHERS…
James 1:25 (Amplified)
"But he who looks carefully at into the faultless law, the law of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer (who obeys) he shall be blessed in his doing(his life obedience)."
“The law of liberty” The law of liberty is the law or commands in which Jesus spoke of with loving others just as much as you love yourself and to love our Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul. With this in mind you’re granted the freedom of self-control, love and forgiveness because God has placed a new heart in you. With that new heart you now have the ability to be led of the spirit, who gives you the freedom to love others.
James 1:25 NIV  - "The man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives FREEDOM, and continues to do this not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it he will be blessed in what he does."
…have to go to work but there is more…. TO BE CONTINUED J
