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?
