On this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the biblical theme of liberty and what true freedom looks like according to the Word of God. Beginning with Old Testament foundations such as the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25 and the prophetic promise of liberty in Isaiah 61, this message shows how these earlier pictures pointed forward to the greater freedom that would come through Jesus Christ.
Moving into the New Testament, this episode examines several forms of liberty believers enjoy in Christ: freedom from the penalty of sin, freedom from the dominion of sin, freedom from the Old Testament law as a covenant of righteousness, and freedom from ignorance through the truth of God’s Word.
Finally, the message considers how Christians should wisely use their liberty…never for the flesh, and never in a way that harms others; reminding us that true Christian freedom is both a gift to celebrate and a responsibility to handle with wisdom!
