Free to Be Slaves

Galatians 5:13-14 and Romans 6:15-18

 

This Sunday is the Fourth of July weekend, and we’re celebrating our nation’s birthday and thinking about the meaning of liberty. We usually think about liberty as the freedom to be independent and life as we want…well at least as long as it is helpful for the general society. But as Christians, we think about liberty differently when it comes to our faith. We think of freedom from sin (thank you, Jesus) and  therefore freedom for living as we choose. Christians freely and willingly choose to bind ourselves to slavery to Jesus. Don’t miss this Sunday when we take a closer look at this shocking biblical truth: Christian freedom is choosing slavery to Jesus!
