Today’s post is from the daily devotional book, Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young. Each devotional is written from perspective of Jesus speaking to you.

THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Me. The law of the Spirit of Life has set you FREE from the law of sin and death. Not many Christians know how to live in this radical freedom, which is their birthright. I died to set you free; live freely in Me!

To walk along the path of freedom, you must keep your mind firmly fixed on Me. Many voices proclaim: “This is the way for you to go,” but only My voice tells you the true way. If you follow the way of the world with all its glitter and glamour, you will descend deeper and deeper into an abyss. Christian voices can also lead you astray: “Do this!” or “Don’t do that!” “Pray this way!” “Don’t pray that way!” If you listen to all those voices, you will become increasingly confused.

Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for My voice and following Me. I will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.

Accompanying Scriptures: Romans 8:1-2, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2- because through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit of life set  me free from the law of sin and death.”  Isaiah 30:21, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” John 10:27, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me.” Psalm 23:1-3, “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want; 2- He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters. 3- He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” (New International Version)
