The Right Understanding of Freedom
June 19, 2024The Right Understanding of Freedom
Pastor Blake Hanson | 6.19.24
Two Ways Non-Christians Won’t Experience Freedom
Romans 1:18 (NIV)
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
Romans 1:21 (NIV)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Romans 1:22 (NIV)
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
Romans 3:10–11 (NIV)
10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
The Right Understanding of Freedom
Freedom is not freedom to but freedom from sin.
Romans 6:15 (NIV)
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!
Freedom is not choosing your but choosing God’s ways.
Romans 6:16–18 (NIV)
16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
Romans 6:19–21 (NIV)
19 I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
Freedom is found in Jesus and His rule is than anyone or anything.
Romans 6:22–23 (NIV)
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 8:36 (NLT)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
