The Path to Freedom

 (ID: 3374)

Today’s culture exhorts us to be masters of our own destinies, in control of our own lives, and absent any restrictions other than our own. True freedom, though, is actually found in obeying God’s precepts, not in release from them. Examining the cultural, biblical, and personal significance of freedom, Alistair Begg helps us discover that even a self-serving life is enslaving. Abiding rest is ours only when we surrender our lives to Christ and receive the forgiveness He freely offers.

41Let your usteadfast love come to me, O Lord,

your salvation vaccording to your promise;

42then wshall I have an answer for him rwho taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,

for my xhope is in your rules.

44I will keep your law continually,

forever and ever,

45and I shall walk yin a wide place,

for I have zsought your precepts.

46I will also speak of your testimonies abefore kings

and shall not be put to shame,

47for I bfind my delight in your commandments,

which I love.

48I will clift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,

and I will dmeditate on your statutes.
