Wednesday Bible Study – “Freedom Is Not Free”

“FREEDOM IS NOT FREE” 

REFERENCE  ST JOHN 8:30-32

• IT WILL COST YOU TO COMMIT  TO A LIFELONG PATTERN OF LEARNING, GROWING, AND BECOMING… CHANGE! 
• ROMANS 12:1-2
• THE BOTTOMLINE:  FREEDOM IS ABOUT CHOICES, EMBRACING A NEW BELIEF SYSTEM AND WORLD VIEW OF LIVING LIFE TODAY, AND AS A CONTINUAL DEVOTED FOLLOWER  OF CHRIST AND HIS BIBLICAL TEACHING.  
• OUR EXPERIENCE OF FREEDOM IS TIED TO THE NEXT GENERATION 
• YES, FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. BUT IT’S WORTH THE PRICE FOR US TO EXPERIENCE THE GOD KIND OF LIFE AND TO PASS IT ONTO OUR CHILDREN, ESTABLISHING A CULTURAL LIFESTYLE FOR GENERATIONS YET TO COME.
• DEUTERONOMY 30:19
• THE DECISION TO CHOOSE LIFE IS THE PRICE TO EXPERIENCE A LIFE OF FREEDOM .
• BUT OUR FREEDOM IS CONNECTED TO US PASSING ON A LIFE OF FREEDOM TO OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
• DEUTERONOMY 6:1-12; DEUTERONOMY 6:20-25 

THE BENEFITS FOR GROWING IN

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE 

• 2 PETER 1:2-10 
• GRACE AND PEACE IN YOUR LIFE COMES IN GREAT ABUNDANCE.
• NOTICE MORE GRACE AND PEACE COMES THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. THE KNOWLEDGE WE GAIN AND RETAIN (REFRESH), BY CONTINUING TO FOLLOW AND LEARN FROM JESUS. 
• WE CANNOT EXHAUST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. THERE IS ALWAYS MORE AS WE GO DEEPER IN OUR WALK WITH HIM.
• THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S TRUTH REVEALS HE HAS GIVEN US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS. 
• AS WELL AS THE GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISE GOD HAS GIVEN TO US TO ENJOY 

CHOOSE LIFE AND FOLLOW JESUS TODAY.
