How the Truth Can Set You Free
Ephesians 2:8-10

Recognizing our full freedom in Christ begins with an awareness that our
sins are forgiven and we face exciting possibilities for a new life.
While it is right to revel in our newfound freedom, we must never forget
that it is just the beginning of a long journey toward becoming the
person God wants us to be. Real freedom includes release from all the
limiting factors that hinder us from regularly bearing fruit. Among
these factors is a wrong attitude toward self. When we fail to see
ourselves as God sees us, things begin to fall apart at the center of
our being, and we become weighed down with insecurities of all kinds.
Then we quickly become mired in trying to prove ourselves by driving,
pushing, achieving, and accumulating more and more things.

God�s remedy for all this is to rearrange our thinking until we begin to
recognize who we are in Christ. With this viewpoint, we can move beyond
spiritual infancy and embrace all of God�s purposes for our lives. The
Bible says that we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works. Whenever we feel inadequate and worthless, we must remember Who
is at work within us and celebrate His work. We can silence the
condemning voices by adopting the right attitude about God�s handiwork.
That will open the door for the Spirit of Jesus to bring forth fruit
that abides. In this way, we can truly reach our full potential and
enjoy who we are, what we have, and where we are going.

Not because they are looking for it but because porn is looking
