Title - The Spirit of Liberty
Background
Paul was comparing the Old Covenant and New Covenant
the Law; the Grace of God
the Letter; the Spirit
ministry of death; ministry of the Spirit
the glory of the O.T. was passing, and was covered to hide its passing
the glory of the N.T. grows - from glory to glory
the glory of the N.T. is unveiled - unhindered, free
“taken away” = to take off round (something that is wrapped around)
Grk.
PERIAIREO, to unmoor (as in a ship to pier ()
When a person turns to Jesus Christ, the veil (the bondage) is taken away by the Spirit of Liberty!
The Main Point
The Holy Spirit of God is given in order to set free those who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus!
The Spirit of liberty is here to enforce the transaction that took place at Calvary!
The spirit of liberty is here to make sure that the purchase is applied to the believer’s life!
Christ has made us free!
Let us stand fast in that liberty!
beware of the yokes of bondage!
Sermon Points
Yokes of Bondage
The yoke of bondage is intended to remove to benefit of Christ’s death in our life.
circumcision being a representative of a yoke (the law)
The yoke of fear
fear of death subjects people to bondage
Jesus’ victory over death - His resurrection - says death has no more sting nor power over the life of a believer!
fear involves (has) torment
torment = punishment
fear anticipates the punishment of sin.
fear serves as “advanced punishment”
The Spirit of Liberty sets us free from fear itself
no punishment awaits you in death, only rest!
The yoke of worldly traditions and practices
weak = without power, impotent
Galatians 2
beggarly = deserving contempt
elements = elementary principles of the world
observance of days, months, seasons and years (traditions, feasts)
Colossians 2.16
Christ - through His death - has redeemed us from the confines of the observance of the ordinances in the Law.
substance = reality
The Spirit of liberty sets us free from the bondage of traditions.
Christmas?
I can celebrate and commemorate Christ’s birth anytime of the year!
Valentine’s Day? - I can express my love for my wife anytime, any day!
Mother’s Day? Father’s Day?
You can celebrate your parents’ lives everyday!
The yoke of wrong relationships
2 Corinthians 6.14
Relationship with unbelievers WILL SEPARATE you from fellowship with God.
Relationship with unbeliever is a YOKE OF BONDAGE.
Relationship with unbelievers WILL SEPARATE you from fellowship with God.
The yoke of corruption of the world
2 Peter 2.19-
corruption = depravity; moral corruption
sinners are slaves of corruption
those who return to corruption becomes worse than before
The Spirit of Liberty sets us free from the power of corruption in our body of sin.
He empowers us to resist the passions of the flesh.
He helps us overcome the temptations of sin in our bodies.
There is Liberty in the Spirit
How can we enjoy the liberty that Christ has bought for us with His own blood?
Follow the leading of the Spirit
absolute liberty belongs only to God.
Our freedom is found in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Live and act as son or daughter of God!
as a son of God, bear these 2 things in mind:
you have an inheritance
you have authority
The Spirit of liberty sets free the child of God!
Claim your inheritance and privileges!
Exercise your authority over the works of the enemy!
Conclusion
Has Spirit of God arrived in your life already?
If so - enjoy the freedom that He gives to you!
Let the Spirit of God enforce the purchasing and liberating power of the blood of Jesus!
Is the world trying to take you back to bondage by fear?
By worldly traditions?
By wrong relationships?
Come to God today so the Spirit can work His way and restore you to a life of glorious liberty!
