I often remind people that we live in the greatest country

We live in a country that gives freedom to it’s people

Unfortunately, some people confuse this freedom….

With real freedom

 

“31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 Now the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.”
Real freedom is freedom from sin
 
The Israelites thought they were free because of heritage;

Americans think we are free because we are Americans;

Sin doesn’t care about heritage or government

Sin enslaves every sinner.

Once sin is committed, the penalty is locked on

“23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Jesus said the truth will set you free.  John 14:6 NASB
“6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Jesus is the Truth, but sin is a liar!

Sin says you don’t need Jesus

We live in a world today that loves sin and even glamorizes it

Sin looks beautiful and is popular

Sin says, “Hey, Why not?!? It is a free country”
 
The free gift of God is eternal life
How does that work?
 
The Son makes you free by paying for your sins on the cross

Jesus has paid your debt allowing you to be free

But you still have to accept it

Are you ready to be free, free indeed?
