Freedom In God
Eternally free people are those who have made Jesus Christ their Savior, Master and Lord.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." - John 8:32 NASB1995
Consider some of the freedoms Christ can bring you and everyone:
1. Free Will
God created us with free will and the ability to choose whether to follow and serve Him.
2. Freedom in Christ
Through Christ, we are set free from sin, guilt, shame, and broken-heartedness. We are also given a new nature and filled with the Holy Spirit, which frees us from the control of our sinful nature.
3. Freedom to Know God
Christian freedom is the freedom to know God, to be His, and to have our own relationship with Him.
4. Freedom to Be a New Creation
Through Christ's love and forgiveness, we are made into a "new creation" and offered lasting freedom.
5. Freedom from Slavery
We are no longer slaves to our past or bound by our bad choices.
6. Freedom from the Consequences of Sin
We have escaped the consequences of sin because of what Christ did for us.
7. Freedom to Enjoy Jesus
We are freed to enjoy Jesus now and for eternity.
God gives us a new nature and more importantly filled us with His Holy Spirit so now we are no longer under the control of our sinful nature – we have been set free.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. - Galatians 5:1 NASB1995
