Limits
LIMITS
very few activities are free-for-alls
we like Limits: they keep things focused, fair, and safe
what is Freedom? the ability to do whatever you want without restraint
so are you ever actually Free?
- free to drive to New Orleans
- free to listen to _______
but there are certainly LIMITS
- can't drive too fast
- can't yell "b..."
real freedom would only exist outside of the influence of some higher authority
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-47
FREEDOM FROM
Enslaved to Sin
-no room for the Word
- no care for Eternity
- no Faith
- Deceived
- Compromised
- Separated
This is what Jesus frees us from.
FREEDOM TO
Free to act under some other authority - no longer Sin but RIGHTEOUSNESS
"You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness."
Romans 6:16-18
Enslaved to Righteousness
- holiness
- purity
- confidence (not shame)
- full life now
- eternal life later
