The PURPOSE of freedom

Exodus 4:22-23
"Then you will say to Pharoah, Thus says the Lord- Israel is my firstborn son. And I say to you, 'Let my son go SO THAT he may serve me."

Lord set me free from sin, bondage, foolishness, and myself so that I can be a more effective servant of You my God! I love that in the Old Testament everything was so outward. Often times a physical picture of a New Testament spiritual reality.

"I run in the path of your commands, for You have set my heart free." (Ps 119:32)

"Set me free from my prison that I may praise your name!" (Ps 142:7)

"If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed!" (John 8:36)

"You have been set free from sin and become slaves to righteousness." (Romans 6:18)

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free..." (Galatians 5:1)

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." (Hebrews 9:15)

"Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God." (1 Peter 2:16)

"To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen." (Revelation 1:6)
