Do you find yourself constantly returning to old patterns, habits, and mindsets despite knowing better? Most of us struggle not because we lack knowledge but because we don't truly understand our identity in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1, we explore how recognizing who we are in Christ empowers us to "strip off every unnecessary weight and sin which so easily entangles us."
My own journey through self-doubt and negative self-perception taught me that freedom isn't something we achieve—it's something we accept. When my pastor simply said, "Be free," it transformed my understanding. Those two small words encompass a powerful truth: being free means acknowledging it's already done. Christ paid for everything on the cross—not just our sins, but our joy, peace, healing, victory, and favor. Our responsibility isn't to earn these gifts but to walk in what's already ours.
The gateway to this freedom comes through immersing yourself in God's Word and understanding His thoughts toward you. You are constantly on God's mind, and His thoughts about you are consistently good. Even if your earthly experience lacked love or affirmation, the spiritual reality is that you've been adopted into the greatest family that exists. Today's challenge is simple yet profound: be who God says you are. Embrace your freedom, for what Jesus paid for is already yours. And remember the principle that transforms our interactions: what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.
