Importance of Freedom

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” - Galatians 5:1

We have been set free! We are delivered from law, sin, and death. We have been set free to serve God and share in his grace eternally. So how will we use that freedom?

Prophet – Abraham

Genesis 22:17-18
God heard the boy crying,  and the angel of God  called to Hagar from heaven  and said to her, “What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid;  God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.   Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation.

Genesis 24:7
The Lord, the God of heaven,  who brought me out of my father’s household and my native land  and who spoke to me and promised me on oath, saying, ‘To your offspring  I will give this land’ —he will send his angel before you  so that you can get a wife for my son from there.

The Glory That Excels

Acts 9:17
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on  Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Thoughts 

. . Jesus Christ and Saint Paul have much oftener used this method of the heart, which is that of love, than that of the understanding.  Because their principle purpose was not so much to inform as to inflame. - Blaise Pascal

. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back. - Unknown

. The first question that the priest and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?”  But the Good Samaritan reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
