Set Free

In Christ we have freedom! Everybody knows that. Freedom from...what? Not so many people know that. I was asked that very question once and I realized I didn't exactly know. I had heard many vauge answers and "good ideas," but I wasn't sure what God's word said, so I looked. Romans 8:2 says "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death." We have been set free from sin and death, our two biggest problems. We were slaves to sin and and death reigned over us, but in Christ we are now children of God and heirs of Christ. The next question that has to be answered is free to do what. That answer is found in II Cor. 5:15: "He died for all, that they who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf." All to often worship is used as a means to an end other than Christ. Christ is the end, the goal and the prize.


Verse: (Rom 8:2, Gal 2:20, Psalm 30:11, John 14:6)
I have been set free from my sin
No longer me who lives
But Christ who lives inside me
Turned my mourning into dancing
Set My eyes to see His face
He Lived the life
He is the way
Now I've got a lot to say


Pre Chorus: (Gal 3:13, Phil 3:13-14, Heb 12:1-3)
In Christ we've been redeemed
He's the end
The goal and the prize
To run the race in Chirst
We set aside
The things of this world


Chorus: (Romans 8:2, 15-17)
I am free
I am free
I am free from the law
Of sin and death
Oh I came as a slave
Now a child of the King
I am free
I am free

Bridge:
I have been set free from my sin
No longer me who lives
But Christ
Turned my mourning into dancing
He Lived the life
He is the way
Now I've got a lot to say
