Title: Why are people willing to give up their Freedom?    
  
  
  
  

   

  
  
  
  


And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
To know the Truth means that we have:
    Heard it
    Believed it
    Received it
    Doing it

See He Be Re Do.

If you have never been free then you have always been in bondage.   If you are bound by anything, what is one more fetter?   

Only those who have been made free In Christ Jesus really experience freedom and know what it is.   

All others are ignorant of its true meaning and so do not value it.   

The growth of Socialism in America and the world is a result of turning from the Truth of Christ Jesus and His Word.   

Christians are amazed by those who would give up their freedoms to other human beings who would use that power to further enslave the ones who have empowered them.   
If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
Jesus has the power to deliver us from every form of bondage and to empower us to stay out of bondage.     

Notice that He 'makes' us free.     This is because the Old Man is unfixable.     We are Born Again of the Word by the Holy Spirit and so are made free in the New Man which is a New Spirit being.

Free Indeed is real freedom.   It is being completely unfettered, even to the point of having no guilt.   
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Holy Spirit.
When you are Born Again the Lord sees you as you truly are: a New Spirit being whose soul and body will be redeemed at His appearing.     

He does not see the sin in our lives because of His blood and His promise of Eternal Life.     

If you think there is anything separating you from the Lord you are doubting the Love Of The Lord and His finished work at the cross

Start believing in the perfect Love Of The Lord and the power of His blood so that you enjoy an intimate, personal relationship with Him in the Holy Spirit.     
Your prayers will be answered.     

Note that the absence of condemnation is a result of being In Christ.   

Those who are Born Again by the Word and Holy Spirit are New Creatures.   They are higher order beings than human.   They are Sons Of God.   
Beloved, now are we the sons of the Holy Spirit, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
When we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and confess Him as the our risen Saviour we are born of the Word and the Holy Spirit as New Spirit beings.     

Accordingly, we are now Sons Of The Holy Spirit, even in these mortal bodies.     What glory we will experience in the translation at His appearing!     

The 'appearing' of Christ has a two-fold meaning.     
    Jesus will return with every eye seeing Him and with us being translated from corruptible to incorruptible.     We will be gloriously changed into perfection
    The spiritual revelation of our identity in Christ is also an appearing of Christ in our psyche.     
When we begin to see ourselves as New Spirit beings empowered by the Holy Spirit we become like Christ Jesus.     The Mind Of Christ becomes our mind with the associated manifestation of His power and His authority.     -

In our New Spirit being state we are able to see and understand that which totally escapes the depraved human.   So, we see a divergence of value systems between the two species.   
For the Holy Spirit so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Holy Spirit is the eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator of all things by the Word.     

What world is John speaking of?     
The earth and all the people born into humanity.     

The Holy Spirit is love and love is of the Holy Spirit.     

The world was created by the Lord and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against the Lord and so humanity became evil.     But the Lord loves the people of this world and so He birthed Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.     

Love is what led the Holy Spirit to be born as a human, to suffer and die for us.     

The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.     

The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life by the infilling of the Holy Spirit.     

Here is understanding:
    Everlasting Life is Eternal Life
    Eternal Life is union with the Holy Spirit.

And he said unto them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
This is the Great Commission.     It is still in force.     We are expected to carry the Gospel to every creature.     

Jesus did not expect every person to believe, but He wants us to make sure all nations hear the Gospel as it is a criteria for His return.     

It is our Lord's will that all men come to know the Truth, be Born Again and to be made Free Indeed.   We who have been made Free Indeed are to be salt and light, bringing others to Him so they can enter into Newness Of Life In Christ Jesus.   

The wretched, depraved, hopeless human looks for supermen to look after them and make their lives better so they surrender control of their lives foolishly.   
You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Every person is either a Child Of The Holy Spirit or a Child Of Satan.     

Such a statement is not Politically Correct.     Those not In Christ would see the expression of this truth as bigotry and evidence of hate.     

But denial of the truth and construction of alternate realities does not negate the truth.     

Jesus said there are wheat and there are tares, there are sheep and there are goats.     

The choice before all men is between life and death, truth and lies, light and darkness.     

The purpose and necessity of the Gospel is to inform the lost of the true meaning of life.     

We who are In Christ not only understand the Mystery Of God but have entered into Eternal Life, while the unbeliever does not understand and so stumbles in darkness apart from the Lord, wallowing in the filth of their sins.     

As children of light we should Understand The Times, sharing the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to light the world informing them of the Lord's plan for His creation.

New Creatures In Christ will never give up their freedom.
