A careful explanation of how Christ Jesus sets people free from the enslaving power of sin. On July 4, 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring the people of the United States free from the controlling power of Great Britain. 1,744 years prior, Jesus spoke the 'Declaration of Freedom' (John 8:31-36), declaring his followers free from the controlling power of sin, death, Satan, and condemnation. This episode examines Jesus' Declaration of Freedom and explains how and why sin enslaves all people, how Jesus actually sets sinners free, who specifically receives such freedom, and the beautiful benefits of the freedom in Christ.
