The Chains Are Broken

Scripture:"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." – Galatians 5:1 (NIV)

Freedom isn’t just a future hope—it’s a present reality for every child of God. Christ didn’t come so you could live halfway free. He came to break every chain—guilt, fear, addiction, insecurity, shame—and replace bondage with boldness, heaviness with joy, and striving with rest.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t being set free—it’s learning to live like you are. Even after the chains are broken, your mind may still carry the memory of what once held you. But God invites you to stand firm, to remember that you’re not who you were, and you’re not bound by what used to control you.

You are free in Christ. Fully, completely, eternally. That’s not just a spiritual idea—it’s a practical, everyday truth that changes how you walk, think, and speak.

Today, take a moment to identify any old chains trying to sneak back in—fear, condemnation, bitterness, or shame. Don’t pick them back up. Declare this truth: “I’ve been set free by Christ.” Walk in confidence today, knowing that you are no longer a slave—you are a beloved, free child of God.
