JAMIE// SECOND YEAR// ANCIENT HISTORY

Having come from a Christian family I guess I never thought of how blessed i was being surrounded by friends and family that knew what true freedom was. Finally deciding that Christianity was pretty legit at the age of 16 at a Christian camp was probably the best decision I've ever made. Living a Christian life can be a struggle. It often looks like a daily up and down battle, rather than a constant growth in Godliness - but the freedom that comes with knowing that Christ has paid the ultimate penalty for our sins so our relationship with God can be secure is so liberating. I have struggled with the idea of true freedom as the challenges and pains that we face each day are so real: social pressures, future uncertainty, poor mental health to name a few, but I rejoice in the Gospel that through the secure hope that we have and the grace that’s been given to us we can be truly free to rest in Christ’s salvation.
