Freedom

July 4th '07
.
God pays for each slave's freedom; no one who runs to him loses out.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;

I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom, ’and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’ They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures and on hills that were previously bare.

And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they continued to speak the Word of God with freedom and boldness and courage.

The Lord is God, Who has shown and given us light [He has illuminated us with grace, freedom, and joy].

That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day, don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time—remember, you've been raised from the dead!—into God's way of doing things. Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God.

Psalm 34:22 Isaiah 61:1 Isaiah 49:9 Acts 4:31 Psalm 118:27 Romans 6:12

If you know Christ, you always have a reason to celebrate.

LIFEgroups – together experiencing God.
