LET FREEDOM RING! “I’m Free At Last – From
What?”
John
8:31-36
Understand that you can’t be “Free Indeed”, until
you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. You can’t be free until you
know the truth about what real freedom is.
Since Jesus is the Truth, and you believe in the
truth, then you become true disciples of the truth, and that truth
sets you free.
In Verse 33 some believing Jews, misunderstanding
or just now knowing, answered Jesus about never being enslaved to
anyone said, “how is that You say, ‘You shall become free?’”
Jesus explained to them about being a slave to sin.
Today we are set free, but from what?
-
From
a dull empty life (ours should be exciting)
-
Set
free from the foolish person I used to be (now making wise
decisions)
-
Set
free from the fear of tomorrow (no fear of death)
-
Set
free from the guilt of the past (you are forgiven)
-
Set
free from the shackles of life (and traded those shackles for a
glorious song)
Psalm 33:3 says, “Sing to Him a new song; play
skillfully with a shout of joy”
-
Set
free from the penalty of sin and we now have the free gift of
eternal life.
Romans 7:24-25……
O wretched
man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I
thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I
myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1…..
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the
Spirit.
Galatians 5:1…. Why?
Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has
made us free, and do not again be held with the yoke of bondage.
Back to John 8:36…. “If therefore the Son
shall make you free, you u shall be free indeed.”
