THANK GOD I AM FREE

Scripture: Psalm 107:14-16 “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.  Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!  For He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.”

    The old song says, “For a long time I travelled, down a long lonely road, My heart was so heavy, in sin I sank low.  Then I heard about Jesus, what a wonderful hour! I’m so glad that I found out He would bring me out through His saving power!”  What a precious song!  The Lord has brought us out from the prison of sin and set us free!  
    The Psalmist said “Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness”.  We’re saved by His blood, why not praise Him? We’re free from the sin that once held us, why not thank Him?  We’re forever delivered from the curse of sin, why not lift our hands and praise His wonderful name?
    We’re told in our text verse that He brought us out of darkness through His precious blood that He shed on Calvary!  The sin that held us, that controlled us, that kept us from the light is gone forever!  Thank God we are free, free, free! 
    Let me call your attention to the last verse where in His deliverance, He broke the gates and cut the bars in sunder.  When our Lord saved us, He delivered us from our sin!  He broke the gates rendering them useless.  And to make sure that this prison would never be able to hold us again, He cut the bars in sunder.  Meaning that He rendered them useless in ever holding us again!
    The old song we began with, ends this way, “Like a bird out of prison, that’s taken its flight. Like a blind man that God gave back his sight. Like a poor wretched beggar that’s found fortune and fame. I’m so glad that I found out He would bring me out through His holy name.”
