OPPRESSED / OPPRESSOR – – – CAN YOU SHAKE IT?

No one can take the blame for holding you back, when you are free on the inside.

And you cannot take the blame for holding someone else back, when you are free on the inside.

The only permanent oppression is the oppression in your heart, which every person lives under and cannot shake alone.

We all need Jesus, and “if He sets you free, you are free indeed.”

Our greatest need is not social or economic equality, which doesn’t exist, but to be free from the one thing that makes us all equal—sin.

Sin oppresses everyone, because it makes us all guilty, and we don’t deserve anything good here, or after here.

Jesus paid, with His life, for our guilt and the sin that caused it—because He knew we couldn’t pay.

Will you accept His offer, and live free and clear of the oppression in your heart?

And you can spend the rest of your life sharing with others your freedom, rather than endlessly fighting the oppression you claimed to hold you back.
