We are free, such good news! We don't owe a thing...more good news! And, we have been given His beautiful gift of righteousness.<br /><br />I am with you that the church is so confused they teach people about God's beautiful Grace and then they teach a message that puts them back under the law. I too lived this way for a loooong time, until the Holy Spirit taught (and is still teaching) me how to rest in the finished work!<br /><br />great Post!Davedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182993023405516646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-90350163635593088022009-05-28T21:10:05.525-04:002009-05-28T21:10:05.525-04:00It is the best news I ever heard.It is the best news I ever heard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-39707027872692095232009-05-28T14:01:55.774-04:002009-05-28T14:01:55.774-04:00Julie,

But indeed it is for freedom that Christ came.<br /><br />Having been set free how often are we tormented by guilt for not being good enough, according to the standards of the churches that we find ourselves in?<br /><br />Even this modern day quest for intimacy can quickly turn into a burden that's too heavy to live up to.<br /><br />A love relationship sets the beloved free... though of course, if we truly loved, we would show it by our obedience and our response.<br /><br />Still, the bottom line of love is freedom -- godly freedom.<br /><br />Thanks for this post!Crown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-18033029073088235382009-05-22T22:13:36.742-04:002009-05-22T22:13:36.742-04:00What a fantastic post, Julie.

I had been so frustrated with the preaching and teaching in the church that I just wanted to quit going.<br /><br />We just recently, within the last year, helped to plant a church in our hometown and we decided that we were going to found it on the Gospel, the good news, the finished work of the cross. We are not going to preach anything else. And we expect that we are going to see signs following. <br /><br />I am super excited about going to church now. Every week I am reminded about what Jesus has done for me and as I grown in that Truth, He reveals Himself in me. Wow!<br /><br />This is a wonderful post! I love it!<br /><br />Christychristy rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576305610780918375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134116388719375338.post-83010204602786136842009-05-22T19:13:53.871-04:002009-05-22T19:13:53.871-04:00Really Excellent post Jewel!
