We Are Free in Christ!



"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2

We are free from Adam's curse.

We are free from the wages of sin.

We are free from the Old Testament law.

We are free from Old Testament ceremonial requirements.

We are free from Old Testament models for community life.

We are free from the clergy-laity divide.

We are free to live as the priests to God that we are.

We are free to live joyfully for Jesus Christ.

We are free to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are free to be the New Covenant church God wants us to be.

Eric,

Absolutely!

We are not free to do as we like!

Just as God has told us what the gospel is, He has also instructed us in what the church is. It is fascinating and sad just how many evangelicals hold to a strict biblical understanding of the gospel, but then do their own thing when it comes to the church.
