“The liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.” 
              — Galatians 5:1 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This “liberty” makes us free to heaven’s charter-the Bible. Here is a
choice passage, believer, “When thou passest through the rivers, I will
be with thee.” You are free to that. Here is another: “The mountains
shall depart, and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not
depart from thee”; you are free to that. You are a welcome guest at the
table of the promises. Scripture is a never-failing treasury filled
with boundless stores of grace. It is the bank of heaven; you may draw
from it as much as you please, without let or hindrance. Come in faith
and you are welcome to all covenant blessings. There is not a promise
in the Word which shall be withheld. In the depths of tribulations let
this freedom comfort you; amidst waves of distress let it cheer you;
when sorrows surround thee let it be thy solace. This is thy Father’s
love-token; thou art free to it at all times. Thou art also free to the
throne of grace. It is the believer’s privilege to have access at all
times to his heavenly Father. Whatever our desires, our difficulties,
our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before him. It matters not
how much we may have sinned, we may ask and expect pardon. It signifies
nothing how poor we are, we may plead his promise that he will provide
all things needful. We have permission to approach his throne at all
times-in midnight’s darkest hour, or in noontide’s most burning heat.
Exercise thy right, O believer, and live up to thy privilege. Thou art
free to all that is treasured up in Christ-wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption. It matters not what thy need is, for
there is fulness of supply in Christ, and it is there for thee. O what
a “freedom” is thine! freedom from condemnation, freedom to the
promises, freedom to the throne of grace, and at last freedom to enter
heaven!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
