The Truth Will Make You Free | Freedom in Christ Scripture Study

Every person will stand before the Judgement seat of God on the final day. But what if there was a way to bypass judgement? What if there was a way to go from this life directly into eternity? Would you be prepared to do what it takes to do that? I know I would. And there is evidence in the scriptures that this is possible. And if it is possible it is worth learning what this means and how it may...

Our lives hang in the balance. You and I are being weighed by God to determine whether we are worthy of eternal life with Him, or whether we deserve eternal damnation and destruction. But how will God judge mankind? And remember EVERY SINGLE person will stand before the judgement seat of God and have to give an account of themselves. God’s process of judgement will not be built on circumstantial e...

The Bible tells us that there will be a day of reckoning when God's judgement will come upon the whole earth. Judgement Day is coming and God's eternal judgement will be served on all mankind. And unlike the courts of man, the court of heaven will have access to everything every person has said and done throughout their lifetime. Avery careless word, every unkind act, every deed that you m...

Man is estranged from God because of sin. It is sin that stands between man and God, preventing us from being in His presence. But in the resurrection of the Christ, God is reconciling man to Himself. Those who believe in the resurrection, and enter into the death and resurrection of the Christ are reconciled to the Father. He offers them grace and salvation. He begins working transformation in th...

Jesus did not die so you could have a feed of fruit buns every year. And He was not raise from the dead so you could have a chocolate feast and a sugar high. The resurrection of Jesus is full of power. It is the point of reconciliation between man and God, where God overlooks our sin so that He can help us to be transformed. It is the means by which we receive the power to become the children of G...

Nothing God does is without good reason and purpose. The resurrection of the Christ is no exception. In fact with respect to Christianity, it is the single most important event in history. Contrary to the way our calendar was developed, with the birth of Christ as the pivot point, it was the resurrection of the Christ that was the turning point of history. His resurrection drew the line between th...

Many believers struggle with spiritual warfare. They battle with issues of sin, condemnation, and guilt. They sink into the depths of despair allowing the devil to tell them they are not good enough. And they hide from God. But they don’t have to suffer. Spiritual warfare and understand how to wage war in the Spirit is the power to overcome. Through using the power of the Holy Spirit and the weapo...

What is speaking in tongues? This is one of the most maligned and misunderstood aspects of the Christian message today. It is the sign of the Holy Spirit, but is often ignored, rejected, forbidden, forgotten, or not considered relevant. But speaking in tongues is a gift from God, and no gift of God is to be ignored or rejected. God only gives good gifts as we are told in Luke 11:9-13 and Matthew 7...

How to walk in the Spirit is not something that comes natural to people. We need to learn the practical steps for daily life that will show us the way. We are all born in the flesh and learn the bad habits of a life in the flesh in this evil and compromised world that lead to sin and death. By contrast walking in the Spirit leads to eternal life and peace. But it is not the natural state for manki...

God has a plan for your life. The Bible tells us so in Jeremiah 29:11-12. But to execute God’s plan in our life is not something we can do alone. We need a guide to help us and show us the way. We need a guide who understands the things of God, the fullness of the truth, and who can teach, guide, counsel, lead, and protect us as God’s plan unfolds in our lives. God has given us the guide in the fo...

What is walking in the Spirit? Christians often talk about gaining victory over the flesh. But many still suffer with weaknesses they can’t control. They suffer from fear, guilt, self-condemnation, guilt, and addictions to various passions, lusts, and desires. And don’t forget those emotions that that run wild from time to time. And as Christian we know these things cause us grief. They do not sup...

It is one thing to talk about who the Holy Spirit is, and why we should receive the Holy Spirit. But how do we receive the Holy Spirit? There are many teachings in the modern church about receiving the Holy Spirit, and sadly many of them are incorrect and misleading. Because of this there are many Christians who believe that they have received the Holy Spirit, when in fact they have not. This epis...

Why receive the Holy Spirit? There are indeed many reasons why every Christian should seek to receive the Holy Spirit. This episode is the second part of this topic. The first part looked at the broad, high level reasons why receive the Holy Spirit. This episode looks at the more personal reasons for receiving the Holy Spirit.

Why should Christians receive the Holy Spirit? I know many Christians believe they already have the Holy Spirit, but most of them are wrong. They are wrong because they have not been correctly taught what it means to receive the Holy Spirit. There are many reasons why we receive the Holy Spirit. Some of those reasons are very broad and high level reasons, while others are quite personal. This sess...

Who can receive the Holy Spirit? And indeed, who is the Holy Spirit? These questions are addressed today in this episode, and the answers may surprise some Christians. This episode is the first of four episodes that will look at all aspects of receiving the Holy Spirit, including why it is so important that every Christian does receive the Holy Spirit, and how to receive the Holy Spirit.

How are we set free from the law? Most Christians recognise that Jesus came to set us free from the law, but how does that occur? It is important to know and understand the process by which we are set free from the law so that we can hold fast to all that Christ has done and is doing with us in faith. Faith is the key to freedom from the law, but knowing how this occurs and what we must believe is...

Many Christians speak about freedom from law. But they don't often understand why we must be freed from the law. It isn't just something that Christ did for us randomly. We are set free from the law for a very specific and very important reason. It is part of the requirement to be set free from sin so that we can stand in the presence of God. As Christians know well, the thing that stands...

What is freedom from law? It is something that Christians speak about, but it is evident from their behaviour that many do not understand it. Jesus came to set man free from sin, and scripture tells us that sin is the breaking of the law. So, if we are to be truly set free from sin, we need to also be set free from the law. This episode begins to examine this important teaching in the Bible.

Why do we need freedom from sin? Simply put, it is because sin stands between man and God. If we want to live with God and please Him, then we must be set free from sin. And God wants His people to not be subject to sin. This episode explores and explains this matter in detail.

What is freedom from sin? Many Christians know about it and talk about it, but they seem to have missed the point of the scriptures and this important doctrine. Jesus came to take away our sins, not just forgive, but completely remove them. And when we are set free from sin, we are no longer sinners. These are not my words, but this is what the scriptures tell us.

There are many ideas and views about baptism in the Church today. But it is important to know what the Bible says about baptism, because this is an important part of the Christian walk. In this session we look at whay it is important to be baptised. And there are many reasons why this is necessary. This will also put to bed some of the errors and myths about baptism so that Christians can seek and...

There are many differing opinions in the church about how and when a person should be baptised. Some baptise children, some baptise only when the person is a long-standing christians, and some don't baptise at all. Likewise there are different methods of baptism. But what does the Bible say? What is the truth about when and how a person should be baptised? In this episode we look at what the s...

Baptism is a core teaching in Christianity. But there are many incorrect beliefs and assumptions about what is baptism. In this episode we look at what the Bable says about what baptism is to remove the myths and half-truths that have brought errors into the importance of baptism.

In this second episode on what is righteousness by faith we continue delving into this critical doctrine of the church. The truth of Christianity includes the fact that there is no righteousness apart from the righteousness given by God through faith. Without faith, we cannot be righteous in the eyes of God.

Understanding righteousness by faith is critical for all Christians. Too many still try to seek righteousness through works, just as the people of Israel were doing in Jesus' time. But Christ came so that we could receive the free gift of righteousness by faith from God, when we believe He raised Jesus from the dead. We will begin exploring what righteousness by faith is in this episode.
