Today we are going to take a step back and look at the “big picture.” We are going to look at some key, core truths that flow out of all that we have been discussing in this study. Our identity is shaped by those we are in relationship with. Father God has worked in Christ…

Colossians 3:2-3“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” In Christ, we are deeply loved, fully accepted, empowered, and truly set free. It is important to understand all that has been given to us “In…

One of the most profound, almost unbelievable truths that we learn in The Scriptures is that we will possess/partake/share in the glory of our Lord Jesus: 2 Thessalonians 2:14 He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is what we will…

Today and tomorrow, we are going to explore two ideas that my seem strange to place together: freedom and glory.

In Christ, through faith, we are forgiven. Jesus has removed our sins from us. His blood has cleansed us. This means that Father God has set us free from the guilt and penalty of our sins and He will never hold our sins against us!

We have been “purchased” by God at the price of Jesus’ blood. This is an unfamiliar concept for most of us. However, because of this redemption we have been set free from our slavery to sin and the Devil. These blessings come to us IN Christ, through faith.

Romans 3:23-24For we all have sinned and fall far short of the glory of God. But we are justified (declared righteous) freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This week we focus on how Jesus has set us free from our sins. He has done all that is necessary for…
