Declaration of Independence Our Spiritual Declaration of Independence …knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin… Romans 6:6

FREEDOM John 8:36- Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Rom. 6:18- And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Gal. 5:1- Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not become entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

But doesn’t 1 Corinthians 6:12 teach this? What is this It is a release from the bondage of sin It is a release from the traditions of men (Matt. 15:8,9) It is a release from “binding” opinions (1 Cor. 8:9; 10:23-33; Rom. 14:14-15:6) It is a release of the Old Law (Gal. 5:1; Jas. 1:25) It is an impetus to love (Gal. 5:13) FREEDOM? FREEDOM What this isn’t… It is not a license to do whatever you desire in the name of religion! But doesn’t 1 Corinthians 6:12 teach this?

FREEDOM COSTS If there is no sacrifice, can freedom be appreciated? Freedom from slavery in Egypt had a cost… (Ex. 12:13,14) Freedom had a cost if there was to be an atonement for sin…(Heb.9:22) Freedom from sin had a price… Matt.26:28/ 2 Cor. 5:21 If there is no sacrifice, can freedom be appreciated?

FREEDOM OBLIGATES Exodus 21:1-6/Deuteronomy 15:12-17 “piercing the ear” and its significance From slave to bondservant From freedom to servitude Significant elements of the procedure Public declaration of intent Piercing of ear Doorpost Voluntary

The piercing would leave a mark – a stigma- on the earlobe Gal. 6:17 scars of service Blood on the earlobe was part of the consecration service for the priests and part of the procedure in cleansing the leper (Leviticus 8:1; 14:14-20) Larger significance? Jesus is the door- Jn. 10:7 Jesus voluntarily gave life, submitted to will of Father as bondservant- Jn. 10:15,18 Jesus nailed to wood of the Cross Jesus shed blood on Cross Jesus had scars from the piercing- Jn. 20:24-29

Significance for You and Me? Been sanctified, made holy by the shed blood of Jesus When we were pierced (cf. Acts 2:37), we made a voluntary commitment to become a bondservant for life. We allowed ourselves to be spiritually stigmatized, allowing others to know who “owns” us (Phil. 1:20 Gal. 2:20) We recognize that in becoming a bondservant, we have obligated ourselves to a Master.

servitude leads to freedom! FREEDOM DEMANDS Being a good soldier- 2 Tim. 2:3,4 Stand fast- protect it –Gal. 5:1 Edification – 1 Cor. 10:23-24 Self-sacrifice – Phil. 2:1-8 FREEDOM This freedom leads to servitude, not slavery, and this servitude leads to freedom!
