This is what our freedom in Christ is like: imagine you are adopted into a massive mansion. Most people only ever see this mansion from the outside, though you have heard many tales about the wonders and treasures that lie within its endless maze of rooms. You have often wondered about this mysterious and fascinating place but now you are invited to live in this mansion and share its wonders. Other people have entered this mansion though many have come only as servants with very limited access. You, however, are invited in as an adopted heir, and so, you are given a master key that gives you access to every room in the house. You are free to explore. There is no door in this mansion that cannot be opened to you. How tragic it would be if one of the servants convinced you, out of jealousy, that you had to restrict yourself to one or two rooms. Paul is warning us in the letter to the Galatians not to be deceived like this. He invites us to spend our days exploring every part of the mansion of life in God and uncovering its wonders. There is so much to explore. So many wonders to discover. Such amazing peace and joy to experience. What a life has been opened to us in Christ! Let us then explore the possibilities and be filled “with the good things of God’s house” (Psalm 65:4). Christ has made you an heir to all the blessings of God. You have the key, now go, explore! Every door is open to you.
Open your heart to God’s Spirit as you seek to know him more and more.
Read Psalm 65:1-4 and Galatians 5:1-15
