LIVING IN FREEDOM

1. is found in Christ

Luke 4:18-21 The Message

18-21  He came to Nazareth where he had been raised. As he always did on the
Sabbath, he went to the meeting place. When he stood up to read, he was
handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, he found the
place where it was written,
God’s Spirit is on me;
he’s chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
to announce, “This is God’s time to shine!”
He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every
eye in the place was on him, intent. Then he started in, “You’ve just heard
Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place.”

Galatians 5:1 NIV
5 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.

2. Salvation is an encounter… process.

2 Corinthians 5:17-19 New International Version
17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has
gone, the new is here!  18  All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:  19  that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins
against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
