1) How much freedom do we have in Christ??
Make me a captive Lord...and then I shall be free
Force me to render up my sword...and I shall conquerer be
I sink in life's alarms....when by myself I stand
Imprison me within thine arms.....and strong shall be my hand.
2) How much do we take it for granted??
We cannot take anything for granted......Jesus said "I am the living bread that came down from Heaven.....he that eateth of me shall never hunger.....and he that drinketh of me shall never thirst"
We have to ingest Jesus daily....by prayer, praise and worship...Pray without ceasing....Paul said.
The Israel nation had to go out and gather the manna.....every day. So have we......Just as we ingest our natural food...and it becomes a part of us.......So we have to ingest Jesus the living bread
If we 'take this for granted' we will die
3) Freedom from what & to do what???
Freedom from the bondage of sin....to serve the true and living God
