Pastor Column: The Freedom of a Christian
Pastor Joel Lynn of Coates St. Presbyterian Church
What is the freedom of a Christian?
There are many who focus in on our freedom from the law (Romans 7:6). And what a great freedom that is!
For it frees us from the need to try to earn our salvation by proving our righteousness. It frees us to be forgiven for our past mistakes where we have not obeyed the law as well as we should, and it frees us to trust in God’s righteousness and goodness rather than the worth of our own good works. But there are some who misunderstand this freedom, and they twist these verses into basically saying that they have been given a freedom to sin.
“Our goal is to be as full as possible,” he said. “Students are really, really eager to get back to campus, and that’s what the provincial government has tasked us to work towards.” Only about 4,000 students including those in some engineering fields and fine arts, as well as graduate students involved in research labs were on the Gordon Head campus during the last year because of pandemic restrictions, while the rest learned virtually. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry advised March 8 that post-secondary institutions should begin planning for a September return to on-campus learning. While details of UVic’s efforts to bring back students are still being worked out, construction is underway near the Student Union Building on a $232.4-million housing and dining project designed for an additional 621 students who would otherwise be living away from the campus.
