Freedom

FREEDOM!

We are free to live our lives without fear of punishment. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment.” (1 John 4:18a, NASB 2020)

We are free from fear for our eternal lives. Our inheritance is guaranteed. “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13–14, NIV)

We are also free from any idea that we must live right to merit Father's continued acceptance. “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6, KJV 1900)
