How do you tell if your version of Christianity is the right one? A good indication at least is to answer the following questions and compare your answers with today’s verse;
Do you feel weighed down with guilt when you reflect on your past mistakes and choices?
Are you burdened with shame and feel you can’t tell anyone about your struggle because of what they will think?
Do you feel overwhelmed because you don’t measure up in some way?
Do you feel restricted by religious rules?
Are you limited in your expression of both joy and grief?
Are you frustrated with not being able to use your gift because of real or assumed pressures?
Do you feel like you have nothing to contribute?
I am not referring to your version of church here although often people tend to congregate with others of the same version of Christianity. If the answer to any, some or all of these questions is yes then please consider that the primary indication of Jesus in your life is freedom to love and freedom to live. Freedom from the things that entangle, ensnare and hold us back from making the most of His life and love through us.
