Reframing Freedom:
• Living with boundaries.
• Living with boundaries.
• Living boundaries.
1 Corinthians 6:12 NIV
You say, “I have the right to do anything,”— but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.

1. Is it to God?
John 8:31-32 NIV
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
2. Is it upholding my ?
Romans 14:23 NLT

Galatians 5:13-14 NIV
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.
John 8:34-36 NIV
