For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

In this Podcast, we discuss the fact that:

• We don’t live under the Bondage of an external system of rules or codes.
• We live under the Internal restraints of the Holy Spirit.

We have been called to Christian Liberty

• Galatians 5:13

• We are not bound by the Law for Righteousness sake
  • Romans 10:4
• Doesn’t Mean that we are free to do whatever we want (Jeremiah 17:9)
  • In Society today
    • Everyone is seeking to do their “own” thing
    • Authority is constantly under attack
      • This is why the Bible is constantly under attack
        • The Bible is our Final Authority in all matters of Faith and Practice.

Liberty is not Freedom to live in Sin

• Living in Sin isn’t freedom from a biblical perspective
  • John 8:34
• We are no longer servants of Sin
  • John 8:36
• We have to choose who we are servants too
  • Romans 6:1-16
    • Servants to Sin or Servants to Righteousness

We have not been called to Lawlessness

• Paul was accused
  • Antinomianism
    • Against the law
      • Anti = Against
      • Nomian = Law
    • Charged Paul with rejecting Gods Law
      • They believed that you had to follow the Law to restrain yourself from living in Sin
    • Paul wasn’t teaching that we can live any way that our Flesh desires
      • Have you ever Read the Pauline Epistles?
        • Romans 7:1-12
        • Ephesians 4:21-32
        • Colossians 3:5-10
      • Paul was teaching that the Law had changed from an External Code of Conduct to a Personal Relationship with God
        • Christ resides “in” you
          • Colossians 1:27
          • Romans 8:9
        • We don’t live under the Bondage of an External System
        • We Live under the Internal Restraints of the Holy Spirit

Paul defines Christian Liberty for us

• Galatians 5:13-16
  • The Law wasn’t set aside
  • The Law just went Inside

Three Things that Christian Liberty Is Not 

1. Freedom to Feed the Flesh (Galatians 5:13)
2. Freedom to Hurt Others (Galatians 5:13, Ephesians 5:29)
3. Freedom to ignore the Law (Galatians 5:14-16)

Christian Liberty is Freedom from the Bindings of the Law

• Exodus 21:1-6
  • What does this have to do with Christian Liberty?
    • The servant serves for six years under a Legalistic Bondage
      • Why?
        • He didn’t have a choice
      • The Seventh Year he can walk away free
        • What does he do with his freedom?
          • He wants to continue to serve
        • How did his service change?
          • Went from a requirement to a desire
        • We are Free
          • Not to disobey
          • But to do what is right
            • Not because we have to
            • Because we want to
