God has made us alive for a purpose. Freedom is a popular word. When we think of freedom we don’t always think about anything to do with religion.
Yet Jesus said:
John 8:31-32 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
Jesus was talking about true freedom. A lot of religious types make Christianity look like a list of rules. Others treat following Jesus so selectively that it seems like it has no impact on their daily lives. We are saved to be the freest people on earth.
John 8:36 “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”
The problem with freedom is sin and how we approach it
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
We have to learn how to live in Christ power so we are free.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
Sundays teaching will be on the three things that steal freedom.
