Has Jesus made you free?

Then you are free indeed;

Ye sons of liberty,

Ye chosen royal seed,

Walk worthy of your Lord, and view

Your glorious Head, in all you do.

William Gadsby

Those who have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory are rich beyond the wealth of this world and heirs of God. How we act, how we live and treat others is to be conditioned and regulated by our experience of God's love and Christ's salvation.

James teaches us about pure religion and distinguishes it from vain religion. Pure religion is the effect of the engrafted word, the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the heart of a sinner and the outworking of grace in a believer's life.

Luk 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Luk 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

James teaches us the difference between those who look into the gospel and see themselves and those who look into it and see Christ.
