Freedom in Christ is not something to take lightly. At every turn, our freedom is being attacked. When circumstances get tough, or when temptations try to overcome us, legalism tries to destroy our freedom and return us to bondage.

We all sin. Failure is inevitable. But thank God—it's not the end of your story. With Jesus, through Jesus, we can change. We can be pulled back from the brink and set on the solid ground we were designed for. But we can't save ourselves and what our hearts need comes from only one Source. Invite God to do His work in you through this 6 day plan.
