Stand Fast in Liberty

Introduction: Are you really free? Jesus came to set us FREE! See if you are FREE.

1. The TRUTH sets us FREE! 

“32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)

Speaking to the believing Jews, Jesus lets them know that He could set them free. 

2. The Holy Spirit sets us FREE!

“1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Gal 5:1)

Legalism, License and Liberty. That summarizes the book of Galatians. Liberty is found in being Spirit led and Spirit filled. 

3. Jesus Christ sets us FREE!

“13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Gal 3:13)

The curse of sin dominated the human race until Christ died on the tree, thus setting us free from the curse of the law. 

4. The Father sets us FREE!

“2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.” (Rom 8:2,3)

What the law could not do, other than exposing our sin, Jesus Christ did through His sacrifice on the cross and in giving us His Spirit to flesh out the CHRISTian life!

Conclusion: Freedom is found in our sins being forgiven. Freedom is found in Jesus being Lord! Freedom is found in having a home in heaven. We are FREE indeed!

Celebrate your FREEDOM in Christ!!
