Three Question Freedom Filter – Is it…

1. to God?

John 8:31-32 (CSB) Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word, you really are my disciples. ³² You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

2. my Convictions?

Romans 14:23 (NLT) But if you have doubts about whether or not you should eat something, you are sinning if you go ahead and do it. For you are not following your convictions. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning.

3. God’s love?

Galatians 5:13-14 (CSB) For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh but serve one another through love. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.

John 8:34-36 (CSB) Jesus responded, “Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. ³⁵ A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever. ³⁶ So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.
