Freedom & Responsibility

Introduction Freedom is a grand ideal, but is always accompanied by some restrictive code of governance (Isa. 61:1-9; Gal. 5:1-7).

Anarchy vs. Order Unfettered freedom results in anarchy; responsible freedom leads to order (Judg. 17:6; 21:25; 1 Pet. 2:13-25).

Futility vs. Hope Unfettered freedom results in futility; responsible freedom leads to hope (Rom. 8:18- 25; Eph. 4:17-32).

Selfishness vs. Service Unfettered freedom results in selfishness; responsible freedom leads to service (1 Cor. 10:23-33; Gal. 5:13-15).

Slavery vs. Salvation Unfettered freedom results in slavery; responsible freedom leads to salvation (John 8:31-38; 2 Pet. 2:17-3:2).

Conclusion Do you wish to find freedom from the yoke of sin? Obey the gospel while there is time and opportunity (Rom. 6:1-7, 16-18).
