I wear this string around my finger to remind myself of the freedom that I have been given through Christ.
God tells His people five times in the book of Deuteronomy , "Remember you were once slaves in Egypt." In each case, God is using the reminder to motivate them to obey Him. Remembering our bondage should allow us to appreciate our freedom so much more and should motivate us to care for those still in bondage.
When I speak of freedom, by no means am I speaking of our American freedoms. Here in our country, the reality is, we are the home of the brave and the land of the people who are in bondage to their freedoms. The very freedoms we glory in, end up enslaving us to the point that it's all we can think of. "Heaven forbid that my freedom of privacy is ever violated." it's not the end of the world.
I'm talking about the spiritual bondage that we have all been enslaved in. This depraved condition takes over us and enslaves not only what we do, but how we think. Remembering this spiritual condition and the freedom you have received, should motivate us to see others be set free. Remembering the slavery I was once in, compels me to be obedient to Christ's call to reach the world with the gospel.
