New York, New York as you celebrate your liberation, I must warn that what you are celebrating is oppression. Freedom to exercise free will, to get married you boast of now, because you think it's safe to determine the outcomes of your own lives outside the will of God––is tragic. You are unable to evaluate whether or not you are truly liberated because you are still bound by sin.
Liberation today is a term associated with all manner of phenomena, but most commonly a confused idea of what freedom means. Why are you rejoicing? You are not free from work, scarcity, accident, tragedy and death. If freedom is to be found in anything or person, it will be found in the person of Christ. It is the Spirit working through the Word that gives real freedom. And how does this freedom come about? Through faith. What is faith? It is simply believing that what God says in his Word is true.
Instead of meeting God someday in condemnation, meet Him now while He is still forgiving. He is able to changed you to love what He loves: His salvation, His Word, and His will. I, even though a Christian, have been guilty of numerous sins, but through faith in Jesus Christ I have been made clean. Trying to get the world to celebrate the trampling of His precepts is not the solution, coming to Jesus is.
