Enjoying The Ride, Pt 2

from Faith Community Fellowship · host Bob Crosthwaite, Pastor Emeritus

Message by Bob Crosthwaite, Pastor Emeritus PART 2: Looking for Jesus Romans 8:1-11 Freedom has been a compelling issue since the beginning of time. 3 Things the Law cannot do to a Christian: 1. It cannot claim you (Romans 8:2) 2. It cannot condemn you (Romans 8:3) 3. It cannot control you (Romans 8:4) In Romans 8, the author writes about Real Freedom, Genuine Freedom, God-Initiated Freedom. In verses 5-11, a contrast between 2 kinds of life: - dominated by a sinful human nature - dominated by the Spirit of God “What would Jesus want me to do?” Never seek REVENGE. Rotten fruit will fall by itself. We are not only set free from SIN; but we are also set free from the LAW. Because we have been set free from the Law, we are held to a higher level of accountability -- all due to our relationship with Jesus. Jesus is asking: “Will YOU live in freedom?” Real freedom begins with Jesus. Jesus is waiting for YOU. Are YOU looking for Jesus?
