I recently read the book "Jesus Wants to Save Christians" by Rob Bell. He talks about how we must remember that God set us free from sin. The Israelites forgot who set them free and it led them back into slavery. Here is a sample:
"The first commandment instructs the people to 'have no other gods.' (Exodus 20:3) Their humanity is directly connected to their ability to remember their liberation, which was a gift from God. If they forget God - the one, true God who freed them – they are at the very same moment forgetting their story. If they forget their story, they forget what it was like to be slaves, and they might find themselves back in a new sort of slavery."
How does God want to set you free? What do you remember or forget about your freedom in Christ?
