Firework and Freedom

Galatians 5:1-14

Canada Day was a few days ago, and many of my friends went to set fireworks. I stayed home and watched Suits! But, through the windows, I heard the sound of fireworks popping, and I remember when I did go watch fireworks, they were beautiful. Yet, these fireworks are made from the same ingredients as a bomb. A bomb causes destruction, ruining lives and tearing apart family. How can something so beautiful, can also be so deadly?


"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love." [Galatians 5:13]


God gives us freedom, free will, and doesn't force us to become robots. Yet, when we take freedom, and turn it into sinful nature, it will destroy us. Freedom used for God is a beautiful thing. Not everyone will have the same freedom we do, but everyone has spiritual freedom. Let's give the glory to God today.

Freedom doesn't give us the right to do what we please, but to do what pleases God.
