"SET FREE!"

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom  (2 Corinthians 3:17)

 

"Live free or die" is more than a patriotic slogan.  It's good theology. We simply cannot live 'fully human - fully alive!' as Christ-followers without the power of God the Holy Spirit who truly "sets us free from the power of sin and death." (Romans 8:2)  April, May, and June we will be exploring - mostly in Paul's letter to the Romans - what it means to cooperate with God's Spirit...The Spirit who alone can set us free:


free to believe and grow into the likeness of Christ;

free from slavery to sin;

free from addictions of all kinds;

free from trying to do life on our own;

free to pray and endure suffering;

free to worship and serve with new power and freedom;

free to love one another instead of judging;

free from man-made religion and rules 

free to be godly citizens and neighbors - in, for, but not of the world.
