Part 20: Liberty and Libertines
Series: Getting Things Straight
Stuart Briscoe
1 Corinthians 6:12

"All things are lawful" appears to have been a Corinthian slogan. Paul agrees, in fact, he may have taught it. But the Corinthians had misinterpreted "liberty" and had become "libertines." Liberty is no more intended to produce libertines than that which is permissible should be used to produce permissiveness.

I. The Law of Liberty.

A. The quest for freedom.
1. Political. Isaiah 14:12

2. Personal. Genesis 3:1-5

3. Religious. Genesis 4:1-8

4. Moral. Genesis 6:1-7

5. Economic. Genesis 13:5-6
Note: Man cannot get free from himself.

B. The gift of freedom.
1. Traditional view of religious liberty.
a. Justification is the reward for sanctification.
