The Misunderstanding of Freedom

Sharable notes for the July 2, 2017 message. You can post these notes on your social platform! 

• Freedom is a biblical concept. It originated with God.
• The hope of true freedom was prophesied by Isaiah and fulfilled in Jesus.
• There is no freedom like freedom from within, freedom from sin and freedom to live a new life.
• When Jesus said "it is finished," it was a declaration from our ultimate enslavement, which is sin. This is the greatest freedom.
• To think to be free means we can do what we want is a wrong understanding of freedom. 
• Freedom is not an absence of limitations, but a dependency upon our divine Creator. 
• We don’t follow God out of religious duty, but out of love.
• Our desire to please God is because his love set us free from the curse of sin.
• A false idea of freedom believes my choices only affect me, my feelings are the truest expression of who I am, my life is just for me.
• True freedom can only be found in who we were created to be and in the one who created us.
