The good news—the great news—is that through Jesus you’ve been
rescued from the death sentence your sins deserve.
You’re free—but your freedom has taken you to some dark places, to
places it would have been better for you to never visit. Read the following

Bible passages to be reminded of where you’ve been—and where God’s
love has brought you.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…”
(Romans 3:23-24).

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship

with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all
sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth
is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John
1:7-9).

You’re free—and it’s your choice whether you’ll walk in the light. Will
you walk with Jesus…or not?
Ask him what that looks like for you today.
Ask…and then listen.
Jot below what he brings to mind.
