You Cannot Worship God if You are Not Free

Exo. 10:3 “Let my people go that they may worship me.”

Exodus is a book of freedom. Even the name Exodus proclaims liberty. Our God is a God of freedom. His purpose is to free us all, His children. When Israel was in bondage, He use Moses to set them free. But before He can use Moses, God needs first to set him free. Then Moses chose “to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season” (Heb. 11:25).

But being freed by our Lord from all bondage isn’t the end. “Let my people go that they may worship me.” The Lord wanted us to be free so that we may truly serve Him, that we may be free to do His leading in us. That we may worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We cannot worship God in Spirit and in Truth when we are not free. For “wherever the Spirit of God is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17). And “ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32). Freedom is the evidence of Spirit and Truth.
