With ‘Freedom’, Jesus Culture Declares God’s Purpose to Mankind

All of us need freedom. Jesus Culture, a Christian music group led by Kim Walker-Smith declares in their song titled “Freedom.” The song reveals one of the greatest needs of man which unfortunately had remain hidden to many people across the ages.    The Bible tells us that man got into bondage when he sinned in the Garden of Eden by eating the forbidden fruit. That disobedience led to receiving the nature of sin which all mankind inherited from Adam. God was angry with man, cursed the earth for his sake, and drove him from the garden. In addition to this, the fall of man also brought all manner of unpleasant things which God did not originally plan for him and the earth. These include sickness, death, hunger, pain, and all manners of disasters that man has been experiencing for ages past.  Man has been grappling with all of these and has tried hard to find solutions to them, but none did work out. Fortunately for us God Himself has provided the solution. From the time that Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, He promised, “The seed of the woman will bruise the head of the serpent.” Genesis 3:15. That seed is Jesus Christ who was ordained by God to save humanity from the bondage of sin. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Palestine and lived for 33 years. After fulfilling his ministry as ordained by God, he was arrested, tortured, and killed, but he was resurrected from death on the third day. He did all to fulfill the scriptures and to give man freedom. Jesus Culture songs center around this truth, to give a message of hope to a suffering world.

The Message From Kim Walker-Smith

 The leader of the Jesus Culture group tells the story behind “Freedom”. It is the story of compassion and love which God has towards mankind, and which is manifested through Jesus Christ. He said, “Jesus is not offended at the mess we make, he truly wants to meet us the way we are.” Kim says that is the truth so many people don’t know that is depriving them of the freedom that God provides for them. They want to make themselves good so that God can accept them. On the contrary, God wants us to come to Him the way we are. He is the one that will do the cleansing. He knows we cannot clean ourselves from the stain of sin. That is the revelation that brings true freedom. Popular songs can make us relax, but only songs that convey the love of Christ and his death on the cross can set us free.

 Messages From “Freedom” Songs

 Jesus said, “Come to me, all ye that labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28. That is an invitation to everyone who wants to be free. You need to come to Jesus. You need to surrender your life to him. In doing that you can exchange your bondage for the liberty in Christ. That will work for all kinds of bondages you might want to be free from; fear, addiction, past mistakes, etc. They are all fallouts of the sinful nature we inherited, and “the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins.” 1 John 1:7. That blood is capable of setting you free.  There is grace available for anyone who will come to Jesus. He said he will in no wise cast out anyone who comes to him. He said “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” Isaiah 1:18. You can bring all your burdens to Jesus. He is always willing and ready to love. He knows all that you are going through and he is ready to help. When people, even your close pals have rejected you, when all your efforts have failed, Jesus can step in and help you out. You only need to allow him. For God has given him a name above every other name, and at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow. Paul and Silas in the Bible sang and praise the name in the prison, there was an earthquake that shook the building to its foundation. All doors and windows were forced open because a greater power visited the prison. Jesus Culture song says your chains will fall, and prison open, you will obtain your freedom if you run to Jesus.
