HOW TO BE FREE
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)
To experience the freedom that Jesus offers I must:
1. _____Consider_________ the cost of following Jesus.
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? (Luke 14:28)
In the same way, any of you who do not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14::33)
2. _____Committ____________my life to following Jesus.
Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matt. 11:28-29)
On the last day of the Feast, Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.”
(John 7:37)
3. _______Continue____________following after Jesus.
From that time, many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. (John 6:66)
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit of itself, it must remain in the vine. (John 15:4)
