Real Freedom

Everyone wants freedom, but are all freedoms real according to what God wants for us?  Freedom means the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints.

There are two types of Freedoms, First is the world meaning of freedom.  It is to be in control - to make own decisions, free from God's laws or society's rules.  It is the freedom to sin.  It is a type of freedom to be miserable. Gal. 6:7-8 For he sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the spirits will of the spirit reap everlasting life.  The second type of freedom is God's freedom.  According to John 8:36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. It means that:
1. Every man by nature in in bondage.
2. Some are set free from this bondage.
3. That who are set free are set free by Christ.
4. That such as Christ sets free are free indeed.

There are qualities of this Christian freedom:
1. Real Freedom - universal freedom that does not leave us partially in bondage.  Free from satan, sin and law.
2. Constant Freedom - he will never come again in bondage. Gal 4:22 For it written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman.

Christian freedom means spiritual liberty and servitude.  A Christian man is the most free, Lord of all and subject to none; a Christian man is the most dutiful servant of all and subject to everyone.  Only faith alone can give freedom to man.
