The Joy of Liberation

Galatians 5: 13 -14 (NIV)

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Colossians 1:21-23 (NIV)

21 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.

22 But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation

23 if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

Applications:
1.    We have been liberated by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
2.    We have been liberated by the power of the gospel.
3.    We have been liberated from a system of tyranny.
4.    We have been liberated from dead works to works by the Holy Spirit.
