REformation: Freedom by Pastor Paul Dickerson

John 8:31-36

Today we celebrate our Reformation heritage and the foundational truth that Jesus has set us free by grace, through faith in Him alone. Jesus said “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32). As those who have been set free by Christ, what does it look like to abide in his word?

“The Christian is a completely free lord of all, subject to none. The Christian is a completely dutiful servant of all, subject to all.” – Martin Luther

“For you were called to freedom, brothers.  Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another” (Gal. 5:13).
