Some of the people I have contacted and shared the gospel with have the same concern with regard to accepting Jesus as their Savior: They are afraid of losing their freedom and being under “God’s control”. They have to give up some things which they assume would give them happiness. But in reality the more we indulge our senses, the more we become enslaved to them and therefore lose the real freedom. In 2 Corinthians 3:17 where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. The true freedom is that you have the right to make a decision which is in line with the will of God and pleases the Father Himself.

In one Christian hymn Give Me Thy Heart, the author wrote, “From this dark world He would draw thee apart; Speaking tenderly, ‘Give Me thy hear.’” The world is so full of seduction and temptation that we easily fall into it without our own awareness. Psalm 119:105 says, “You word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” He is also the light of the world ans is able to lead us out of the darkness of the world. Unless we find the true freedom we don’t know what freedom is and we used to live in bondage in the past.

Need freedom? Give Him your heart!
