Jesus Gives Us Freedom! Use the acronym F.R.E.E.D.O.M. to discover what the bible has to say on the subject.
Friend –
Proverbs 17:17 – A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for
adversity. 18:24 - A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a
friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Redeemer –
Galatians 3:13-14 – Christ redeemed us from the curse
of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone
who is hung on a tree.”He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to
Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we
might receive the promise of the Spirit. Job 19:25 - I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will
stand upon the earth.
Enabler- Leviticus
26:13 - I am
the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be
slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk
with heads held high. Philippians’ 3:20-21 - our
citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord
Jesus Christ, who, by the power
that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our
lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Everlasting

Deliverer – Psalm 18:2 - The LORD is my rock,

He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 40:17 - Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You
are my help and my deliverer; O my God, do not delay.
Overcomer –
John 16:33 - “I have told you these
things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew 16:18 - And I tell you that
you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades
will not overcome it.
Master –
Matthew 6:24 – “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and
love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You
cannot serve both God and Money. 23:8-12 - “But you are not to be called
‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call
anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are
you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest
among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and
whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Have you allowed Christ to set you free?
