Twice Freed

Onesimus - what an amazing Story of Gods Work in One's life

Twice Freed is a Historical Novel by Patricia St. John about Onesimus, a runaway slave, who, through the teaching of the Apostle Paul, came to know Christ as His Savior and Lord, freeing him from sin. He later returned to his master Philemon (whom Paul wrote a letter to - the book of Philemon in the Bible) along with a letter from Paul saying that all the wrongs Onesimus had committed were to be put on Paul's Accont, and asking Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother in Christ, freed from his phsical slavery.

We've so much to learn from the people in the bible. My brother recently said he "Thinks it's pretty amazing how the bible is over 5000 (?) years old, and yet still applies to our lives today." Indeed it is. Onesimus knew the true reality of being a slave to sin and to a master, and he was freed from both, experiencing true freedom in Christ.

And so I am thinkful:
- that I am freed from sin, by the blood of Christ Jesus my Savior
- for parents who've taught me the truths of the bible all my life
- that no matter how many times I read the bible, I still find new truths
- for good friends who lend and reccomend books for me to read
- for Fellowship in the Gospel
