I. Independence Day - Free British rule - Free to work, worship and speak - “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” - What a great country! II. As Christians, we also have experienced freedom - II Corinthians 3:17 NIV - John 8:32 We are forgiven…free from sin! - Romans 6:7,18,22 - Revelation 1:5 III. Understanding forgiveness - We make it conditional. “If you..then I’ll..) - God’s only condition is the acceptance of his grace. Then we are forgiven! - Proactive forgiveness(past,present,future), attitude, way of life - He planned this for us while we were useless - Romans 5:8 - Colossians 2:13 - Hebrews discussion - w/o shedding of blood, no forgiveness 9:22 - He shed blood and did away with sin 9:26 - Because of that, we are holy 10:10,14 - He no longer remembers our sins 10:17,18 - He can then “completely” save us 7:25 - Romans 8:1 IV. What about confession? - Allows us to heal James 5:17 - Reminds us of the seriousness of sin - Opens us up to feel God’s love - Allows other believers to help diffuse the power of guilt V. So how do we respond? - Shaun White’s 2nd run in Vancouver Olympics - Hebrews 10:19-25 The Message - Remember - Christ gave his life FOR you - Overcame death to give his life TO you - So he could live his life THRU you |
