Week 39 Devo – THURSDAY

Unchained

Hallelujah! We are free!

There is so much beauty in the life that freedom gives us, but from time to time, our flesh makes us feel as if we are unworthy of freedom. Paul is the ultimate example of this.

In verse 13, Paul is quick to bring his sins to the light and even calls himself “the foremost” in terms of sinners in verse 16. Paul, formerly known as Saul, was considered the worst of sinners (you can read his story in Acts 9), but here in 1 Timothy, he is able to walk in the freedom of Jesus and praise God for it! If someone such as himself can be free – of course you can be, too!

  • What sticks out to you most about Paul’s testimony in 1 Timothy?

And just as Paul’s freedom journey led him to be one of the world’s greatest missionaries, this freedom we receive will never make us look to our mistakes but will motivate us to love others and share this truth with them!

  • When was the last time you shared the freedom you’ve received with someone else?
