Jesus Christ, through His sacrifice on the cross, provided us with a way to be free from sin and death. This freedom is not something we earn. Instead, it is a precious gift given to us through grace. We recognize that our past mistakes do not define us, and we are free to embrace a new life in Him. Accepting Jesus as our Savior means we are no longer bound by the chains of sin. He came to set us free so we can live joyfully, pursuing righteousness and love, rather than guilt and shame.
