How to Experience Freedom

by Pastor Chip Dean
Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 

1. Be Free in Jesus.

Galatians 5:1a

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.

John 8:32

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

John 8:36

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

2 Corinthians 3:17

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 

Freedom in Jesus is:

Freedom from Satan.
Freedom from the domain of darkness.
Freedom from sin.
Freedom from temptation.
Freedom from guilt.
Freedom from shame.
Freedom from the law.
Freedom from the curse.
Freedom from death.
Freedom from hell. 

2. Be Free from Sin.

Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh…

Houses with Gardens and Pools
Servants
Herds and Flocks
Silver and Gold
Music
Sexual Immorality

3. Be Free to Love.

Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
