THE SON HAS SET US FREE
THE SON HAS SET US FREE
SLIDE 2
36 “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Jesus was also saying in this passage “if you continue in My word you are truly My disciples” “You will know the truth and the truth will set you free”
Thus the continuance of knowing Christ, being in His word as a disciple, you will know truth to keep you free.
Jesus had also told the Pharisees and religious leaders, “I know you say you are descendents of Abraham, and you seek to kill me because My word has no place in you”
“I speak the things from My Father and you speak the things from your father”
Lee Strobel (great preacher / author) - atheist, set out to prove there is no resurrection, through his research, mainly in THE WORD OF GOD became a believer a follower of Christ, whom the Son set free indeed and continues free because He has Christ word in him.
The main point of today’s message is to allow the truth of God’s word to make you free or more free than ever before. It may not be a Resurrection Sunday message you may expect but it will be truth of His word and it will make you free.
Because of Jesus - We have the victory!

Divine Council- (hosts of heaven- angelic beings, pantheon, demonic false gods)
Psalm 82:1, 6
1) God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

Job 2:1 (NASB95)
1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord.
Jesus - “I was there when I saw satan cast from heaven like lighting”
SLIDE 10
Man- (created in the image of God)
Genesis 1:26 (NASB95)
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So what happened? How does all this connect all through time and where we are today?
SLIDE 11
WHAT HAPPENED? (events)
*The fall (Eden) - sin / judgement / death (Genesis 3)
Lie from satan to bring about death to man (enemy of man since rebellion) (Jesus says of satan, a liar and murderer from the beginning)
If they eat from the tree of life they may live forever (not god in a fallen or sinful state / must die)
Just noticing our own selves and what is all around us, we see the fallen state of man
SLIDE 12

SLIDE 17
Deuteronomy 32:8 (ESV)
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he divided mankind,
he fixed the borders of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God.
SLIDE 18
WHAT HAPPENED? (events cont’d)
Shem, Peleg, Abraham - God calls out nation for Himself (Israel / promise of a Seed) genealogy to Jesus the Messiah (Matthew 1)
SLIDE 19
“Map of descendants - nations”
So Abraham and line to Israel only nation not corrupted by these sons of God and their nations?
SLIDE 20
24 you shall not bow down to their gods nor serve them, nor do as they do, but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their pillars in pieces.
SLIDE 21
32 You shall make no covenant with them and their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”
The law was given - reveals sin and holiness of God
Israel still influenced by other gods and nations
Intensifies the need for a savior the Messiah
Jesus come- God in human form - suffers, sheds His own perfect blood, resurrected from death
Jesus stands in our place as forgiven righteousness
SLIDE 22
Law - reveals our sin (no cleansing or washing effect)
Grace - forgiven and cleansed before God (touched by His mercy and Holy influence)
Christ received (grace) - Clothed in Christ Clothed in Righteousness, eternal life, influenced by Holy Spirit
Live by the law - keep the law, no cleansing, clothed in self righteousness, in bondage to the spirit of the gods of the nations, eternal death
SLIDE 23
GRACE OVER LAW
GRACE - of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His Holy influence upon our souls, turns us to Christ, keeps us, strengthens us and increases our faith and knowledge to exercise Christian virtues.
