“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” -- Nathan Hale
Galatians 5:1, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
John 8:36, “So if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you are truly free.”
HOW DO WE RECEIVE TRUE FREEDOM IN CHRIST?
John 8:31-32, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him (Jesus) should not perish but have eternal life.”
Romans 10:9 “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Romans 6:4, “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Mark 16:16, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
TRUE FREEDOM ISN’T SOMETHING YOU EARN… IT’S SOMETHING YOU RECEIVE
Galatians 5:1 says, “Christ has set us free.”
TRUE FREEDOM ISN’T JUST FREEDOM FROM SOMETHING … IT’S FREEDOM FOR SOMETHING
TRUE FREEDOM REQUIRES YOU TO “STAND FIRM”
“The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom and defended it as they ought.” Sam Adams
Paul - Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
John 8:32, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” – Patrick Henry
