Are you free?
Or are you enslaved by your sin?
When you trust Christ as Savior, you are forgiven immediately.
In this story of the cities of Refuge we find God is Fair.
There is a law of sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7-8)
*Prayer:*
God, may we live our life realizing Jesus could return today.
Thank you for your mercy.
Lord may we rest in you, may we cast our fears, burdens, and heartaches on you.
May we be merciful to those who try to hurt us.
Please help is to be different in our daily walks as Christians.
Thank you Heavenly Father for salvation.
