1. Freedom
1. Freedom... Doesn’t sound much like freedom: Our idea – we do what we want. Bible’s idea – we do what leads to fruit of the Spirit We have opportunity to live a life of wisdom & grace Our sinful desires war against our souls (1 Pe 2:11) In Christ we have been set free – we have crucified the sinful nature (v 24)
2. Goodness God is 100% good Picture the glory of heaven … Look closely at the mighty king He is a slain lamb ! ! ! (Rev 5:9) You want to know whether God is good … Look at the slain lamb !
3. Walking To take hold of the life God is offering – work to do. “Walk by the Spirit” (v 16) The Devil & the sinful nature are our enemies (1 Pe 2:11) We must WALK. We must “keep in step with him” (v 25) He sets the pace & direction Micah 6:8 – we walk humbly with God.
