Most people today are in chains to their past sins or the control of others. What advice would you offer them today?


Many people fail to put up healthy boundaries in relationships. It could be because they desire approval and other times, it’s because they are a sincere servant of others. But you can’t give what you don’t possess. So why are boundaries essential and how can a person begin to develop them?

Please share your comments below. We'd love to interact with you.

There are so many voices in this world. But God is the only voice, that speaks truth that never changes, understands me more than I do, is all powerful “ at night look at the sky, those stars he created and named. .. Jesus has taught me healthy Christian boundaries, I have unshakable faith that Jesus is the everlasting God, and that he will work all things out for my good and his glory.

Before Jesus, I didn’t have a clue what boundaries meant, so of course I didn’t have any, Because of my faith in Jesus, and accepting him as my Savior, he gave me a new heart, and because of my faith in him, and obedience, I hear his voice, and by his strength , I have the power that only he can give, now that I have knowledge of his way for me to live, I have free will to choose, I certainly don’t always do the right things, but Jesus always leads me on .. my life is in Christ alone.

God very emphatically warns us to guard our hearts (Prov 4:23). If we pray, as King David so wisely did, for a new heart (Psalm 51:10) God is faithful to give us a heart which willingly accepts His word (Ezekiel 36:26). However, we must be ready and willing to protect it for this is the center of who we are as well as the target of the enemy’s attacks! This is why Biblically based boundaries are essential to every believer. We develop these boundaries by studying His word and by cultivating an intimate relationship with Him. Meditating on God’s Word insures that our boundaries are based on truth and therefore infused with His power. It also guards our heart from the sinful tendencies of our flesh (Psalm 119:11, Romans 2:15, Heb 4:12). An intimate relationship with God shifts our focus until we find ourselves more concerned with pleasing Him than appeasing the opinions of man (1 Thess 2:4). In a culture that balks at the concept of absolute truth, the desire to please our Heavenly Father based on sincere love for Him is crucial to standing our ground!
For those imprisoned by their past, I would remind you that the moment you accepted the sacrifice Christ made on the cross, your past sins were wiped away and are remembered no more! (Heb 8:12) You became a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) with a new life in Christ! Don’t let the enemy trick you into falling back to what no longer exists or convince you to fall under the unhealthy control of another for you then sacrifice your freedom for bondage (Galatians 1:10). His word promises us that those who have been set free by Christ are “free indeed” (John 8:36) That means completely fully truly 100% free! Please do not put yourself in bondage again, instead use the freedom so dearly paid for to free others!

Thank you I am searching for what evidence in Paul's letter points to justification by faith and problem? While studying Apostle Paul's letter of Rome, a Gentile city in which all Jews believing and unbelieving Paul's calling from God to witness and minister to the Jews, although this is but the problem is sin importance as I understand . Thank you. I am writing a research topic on Justification and faith and need the evidence in Paul's letter points to justification by faith.
