Presentation on theme: "Liberty, Biblically Considered"— Presentation transcript:

1 Liberty, Biblically Considered
I presented this sermon during the week of the Fourth of July. I pointed out how people during this time find special joy in fireworks and such matters but have forgotten the important meaning of Independence Day (slide two).

2 Liberty, Biblically Considered
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness….” Quoted from the, “Declaration of Independence.”

3 Liberty, Biblically Considered
The basic idea of “liberty” from a biblical perspective pertains to being liberated from the bondage of sin (Rom. 6: 17, 18). There is also the predominant thought of the Jew being liberated from the Law of Moses (Gal. 5: 1ff., Acts 15: 10).

4 Liberty, Biblically Considered
Jesus is the source of spiritual liberty (Luke 4: 16-19, John 8: 33-36).

5 Liberty, Biblically Considered
The truth is the means of making free (John 8: 31, 32).

6 Liberty, Biblically Considered
We are called to liberty (Gal. 5: 13, 5: 1).

7 Liberty, Biblically Considered
It is possible to abuse liberty (I Pet. 2: 16, Gal. 5: 13, Rom. 6: 1).

8 Liberty, Biblically Considered
Some make vain promises regarding liberty (2 Pet. 2: 19).

9 Liberty, Biblically Considered
Liberty in matters of indifference (I Cor. 10: 29, 8: 9, 10-13).

10 Liberty, Biblically Considered
Some would attempt to destroy our liberty (Gal. 2: 1-5).

11 Liberty, Biblically Considered
Ultimate liberty is awaiting the child of God (Rom. 8: 2, 11, 12, 15, 18-23, 24).

12 Liberty, Biblically Considered
“25: But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed” (Jas. 1). Close by punctuating the blessed liberty the Christian enjoys and ask the audience if there is one present who remains in bondage. Reveal how to be liberated (Rom. 6: 17, 18, John 8: 24, Acts 17: 30, 31, Rom. 10: 9, 10).
