Freedom

Jesus tells us that we have complete freedom in Him in John 8:36: "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."  But our liberty is not a license to do everything we wish.  1 Peter 2:16 says: "Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God."  We have been set free, but to what purpose?  I think Psalm 66:8-12,16 has the answer: 
⁸Bless our God, O peoples;
   let the sound of his praise be heard,
⁹who has kept our soul among the living
   and has not let our feet slip.
¹⁰For you, O God, have tested us;
   you have tried us as silver is tried.
¹¹You brought us into the net;
   you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
¹²you let men ride over our heads;
   we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.
 ¹⁶Come and hear, all you who fear God,
   and I will tell what he has done for my soul.
Notice that.  Freedom in Christ is not easy, and it carries an obligation to tell others what God has done.  The real blessing of freedom is not license, but God's presence.  Even though He tests us, He promises us: 
"When you pass through the waters I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.  When you walk through the fire you shall not burned, and the flam shall not consume you." (Is. 43:2)
Bask in the blessing of Immanuel.  God is with us.
