The Gospel of Jesus is Freedom From Religion
May 9, 2026 • Jim VanGilder
Reflect & Respond:
What are the ways you are intentionally, or even unintentionally,
trying to earn or keep up your right-standing with God?
Ask Jesus: “What do you want me to know about why
I’m trying to do what you’ve already accomplished?”
Write down whatever he says, and then ask what
He is inviting you to do with that knowledge.
What is something practical you can do this week to
remind yourself that you are free from religion,
adopted in to God’s family, and empowered to live
in righteousness - without needing to earn your place?
