Free from Idolatry (7 of 10)
Series: Free- The Book of Galatians
Josh Malone
Galatian 4:8-20
Today we continue in our series in Galatians as we explore the life changing freedom God offers to all who trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. - Freedom from sin, freedom from works righteousness, freedom from trying to be good enough, freedom from guilt, shame... freedom in Christ!
The ultimate choice in Galatians is FREEDOM or SLAVERY.
It seems crazy to think given the choice that anyone would choose slavery. - But the truth is many people choose slavery... thinking they've found freedom.
They go from slavery to something many deem ''unacceptable'' to something ''more acceptable.'' - In fact, they may go from immoral to moral things.
What's happening is they are simply finding new ways to idolatrously center their life on something other than Jesus Christ.
Even crazier is that anyone who has experienced REAL FREEDOM would then choose to go back to slavery. It makes no sense. - Yet Christian, it's a temptation we all face. That as those who have been set free from our idols and our sin... that we would be tempted to live like slaves.
These are the things we see Paul reveals for us this morning. - Paul is concerned for the Galatians. Had they missed the point altogether? Did they not really even truly trust in Christ and be saved? Would they rather have slavery than freedom?
We need to explore this text this morning... because...
Believer, we are tempted daily to be forfeit the experience of freedom for slavery.
And many people today need to know they can be set free but true freedom only comes through Christ, but don't be duped into simply swapping idols/chains.
Galatians 4:8-11- Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of ...
