Turning Point… “For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV. In John 3, Nicodemus had a turning point in his religion. The woman at the well in John 4 had a turning point in her thinking. And in John 5 the there was a healing of a man in Bethesda, the list goes on and on. The decisive moment in your life will be, do you believe Satan and his lies or will you believe God and in His truth? Sooner or later you going to come to a pivotal moment in life where the Holy Spirit will give you a new life and free you from this world ways of living.

    Obeying God’s commandments is where we obtain this freedom. Many people feel that having to live by “these set of rules” (the ten commandments) is debilitating but as a matter of fact, it is sin that is crippling us. Plantinga (2002) stated that “Sin traps people and makes them wilt; godly obedience liberates people and helps them flourish” (p. 74-75). In Exodus 19:4-5, it says to “obey my voice,” the commandments were not given to us to rescue us, but because we have already been rescued. “God rescues people and then lays down the law,” said by Plantinga, perfectly reflects these thoughts. Grace is a tremendous word that is used more than 150 times in the New Testament to speak of divine favor granted to undeserving people. MacArthur (2014) writes in God’s Sufficient Grace that, “We are saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8) and in grace we stand (Romans 5:2). Grace upholds our salvation, gives us victory in temptation, and helps us endure suffering and pain. It helps us understand the Word and wisely apply it to our lives. It draws us into communion and prayer and enables us to serve the Lord effectively. In short, we exist and are firmly fixed in an environment of all-sufficient grace”

    God has given us as human beings free will. Although if we make choices based on our own free will we must be willing to take the responsibility for the effects that our decisions have on ourselves, on the people around us, and on society itself. Freedom, I believe, is the way in which people live or behave without others annoying or interfering in his or her affairs. People should benefit from freedom, equality and justice. Absolute freedom is sometimes very dangerous and may destroy the basic principles of the society. A lot of people believe that freedom means doing whatever you want, whenever you want.

    There are many definitions of the term "freedom." Some will say that to be free one must be allowed to do as one pleases in terms of one's physical body, while others will say that one must only be able to think to be truly free. Yet another group will argue that both aspects must be present for true freedom to exist.

    Everyone seeks freedom, but what is freedom? Freedom is not tangible, so what does it mean to be “free”? According to Dictionary.com, Freedom [noun]: the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. Restraint is something that holds you back. What if it’s us who hold ourselves back? I believe we each have a personal code or a set of ethics that we subconsciously follow. If you were guaranteed freedom in exchange to willingly violate your personal code, would you do it? In “Beowulf”, “Lanval”, “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and “The Wife of Bath”, the main characters undergo an internal struggle regarding the violation of their “personal code”.

The Bible also states that the Christian is commanded to be fervent and unwavering in his/her sharing with unbelievers; as ambassadors for Christ, we are to plead with people to be reconcil...

  • Perspectives on Freedom in Poetry by Emily Dickinson and Harriet Jabos

    1481 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nothing in life is guaranteed, but the one thing that humans demand is freedom. Throughout history, there are countless cases where groups of people fought for their freedom. They fought their battles in strongly heated debates, protests, and at its worst, war. Under the assumption that the oppressors live in complete power, the oppressed continuously try to escape from their oppressors in order to claim what is rightfully theirs: the freedom of choice. In Emily Dickinson’s poems #280, #435, and #732 and Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, freedom is represented by an individual’s ability to make their own decisions without the guidance, consultation, or outside opinion of others in order to find their true sense of self. Once an individual is physically and spiritually free, they can find their true sense of self.

  • Eternal Security: Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?

    2364 Words  | 5 Pages

    Some view their Christian liberty as a license to sin. As Bible-believing Christians, we know this is absolutely not the case! Indeed, we are saved by grace, and not through our good works. But what happens when a Christian falls from the path, into his old ways? A Calvinist would say that a true believer cannot lose his salvation, while an Arminian would say that one can lose his salvation (Dunham 41). The purpose of this paper is to look at the issue of eternal security, and to determine whether “once saved, always saved” does hold true, or whether a Christian can lose his salvation.

    In the church today there seems to be the same problem. We talk about “our liberty in the Lord”, “freedom in Christ”, “Christian Liberty” and “Freedom from the Law”. These are all true and we should talk about them. Grace is free but it did not come at a cheap price. It came at the expense of the most precious commodity in the universe, the blood of Jesus Christ. We should enjoy the freedom God has given us. We should also deal with everything that goes with that freedom. We are freed from the power of sin but we were not set free and abandoned to our own ways.. According to the Bible, as Christians we have responsibilities to live up to. Christianity is not spiritual welfare!
