Free Indeed

  Romans 8: 1-2

“Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life

set me free from the law of sin and death.”

Let’s look at four freedoms we who are in Christ can claim.

I. The freedom to avoid evil.

A.  Hebrews 12: 1

B.  Think of how many concerns people face that they otherwise would

      not have to if they had not been entangled with “inordinate

      affections” to begin with.

C.  I Peter 1: 13

D.  Galatians 5: 1

II. The freedom of fellowship with all believers.

A. “Let brotherly love continue.”  Hebrews 13: 1

B.  I John 3: 16-18

C.  In Christ, it’s actually ok not to agree on every point.  We have the

      freedom to disagree.  Yet we must continue to cultivate the oneness

      that comes from our mutual faith and love for each other.

III.  The freedom to be fully one in Christ.

A.  I Peter 3: 1-5

IV.  The freedom to face the future without fear.

A.  Jesus said it best when he said in John 8:36, “If the Son sets you

      free, you will be free indeed.”

B. “This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we

      set our hearts at rest in His presence.”   I John 3: 19
