In parts of the Body of Christ, there are well-meaning Churches and believers who have a distorted assessment of God the Father. Instead of knowing Him as a loving, holy, righteous and compassionate Father, they see Him as a tyrant who enforces manmade religious rules, their denominational agendas, and who is not concerned about their spiritual and physical wellbeing. Unfortunately, this has led them to think, feel and act like slaves. This incorrect and misguided belief owes in part to wrong traditional mindsets and incorrect teaching and doctrines. What's more, it has caused many to be deprived of or forfeit their liberty and spiritual inheritance in Christ Jesus. He is the embodiment of grace and truth and to be liberated from sin, religious tradition and legalism, we must come to Him. We will never be complete if we are in some sort of spiritual bondage. Jesus doesn't give us freedom to sin, but we're free to follow God. To receive the grace of God is to embrace all that is afforded to us through the atonement of Jesus.
