"CHAINED"

“Who will make me free from this mortal sin nature?
Thanks God it’s been done by Jesus Christ! He has set me free!” Rom. 7-24.

“CHAINED”

I found myself in a jail paying for a life sentence! The place is dark, it is dirty,
and in order to increase my sufferings, I am bounded to a long and heavy chain.
I tried to escape climbing up the tall wall, but I slipped and hit the hard floor!
What can I do?
Alone and without hope of a near day of freedom!
Suddenly, in the neighbor cell, it was a newcomer!
Who are you? I asked him!
What are you doing?
The same as you he answered, to pay for my sentence!
Are you for life also?
Yes! he said but I.. .. I am going to find the way out!
Are you kidding me? I said!
There is no way out in this prison!
Yes! There is, he answered!
Oh, yeah? I said! Do you know a black smith to cut from us these chains?
No, he replied but they told me that it could set us free, the Son of a carpenter!
A carpenter’s Son?, I said, I don’t understand!
Yes! Look:
His name is Jesus!
And in order to give us freedom He gave his life on a cross to pay for all our sins.
If we believe in him, even that we still be here bound to these chains, we will be
happier, and when we complete in the world our condemn, our souls will be
good and healthy and in heaven forever we will live!
The liberty of our souls will bring us peace and calm, and even that our bodies
In the jail of the world remain secluded, deep inside of us, we will be free!
Many people live outside with their souls bound to sin preparing for themselves
to dwell in hell forever!
But with Jesus help, and thanks to his mercy.. ..
For all eternity.. ..
We will be free!

Glory to God!
