Sunday Morning Howcee Productions Gospel Feb. 19 2017 Celebrate Freedom!

Sunday Morning Howcee Productions Gospel Feb. 19 2017 Celebrate Freedom! Breathen  ye have been called unto liberty: only not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13)  :Today we focus on No turning Back: All For One.

Two telling verses that focus on the theme of Galatians are 2:16 and 5:1. They function like a thesis, proposition, or dominant thought to the epistle. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. The verb tense in the original language of the phrase has set us free indicates that Paul had in mind a particular moment in time when this happened (Calvary?). But the next phrase, Stand firm is in present tense indicating ongoing action. Freedom is a gift of God at a particular moment in time, but maintaining that freedom has to be worked out continually. Freedom in Christ Can Be Compromised | Galatians 5:1-4, 7-10, 12  Freedom in Christ Is Demonstrated in Love | Galatians 5:5, 6, 13-17
