True Freedom
Is of the promise and not of the law
Is by faith and not by works
Is from the free and not slave woman
Is from Jerusalem above, not below
Is from Jesus the Heir and Him alone

Is total servitude
Is total slavery
Is total commitment
Is total Loyalty
To Jesus and Him alone

Is freedom from man
Is freedom from self
Is freedom from the world
Is freedom from world’s freedom
Is freedom in Jesus and Him alone

Is loss of all rights and privileges
Is loss of all convenience
Is loss of family, friends and loved ones
Is loss of worldly gain
Is gaining Jesus and Him alone

Is freedom from world’s praise and approval
Is freedom from world’s solace
Is freedom from the world’s comfort
Is freedom from the world’s embrace
Is getting praise from Jesus and Him alone

Trumps all bills of rights
Trumps all freedoms in treaties and agreements
Trumps all national freedoms
Trumps all contractual freedoms
Is triumphant in Jesus and Him alone

Is death to self and fleshly ideas
Is death to all personal goals and ambitions
Is death to personal opinion and preferences
Is death to all counsel and knowledge
Is livening to Jesus our wisdom and Him alone

Is kind and not envious
Is not boastful or arrogant
Is believing, hoping and rejoicing in all things
Is not rejoicing in unrighteousness
Is never failing in Jesus and Him alone

Is boundless joy
Is boundless satisfaction
Is boundless security and assurance
Is boundless rest
Is boundless in Jesus and Him alone

Knows no days, Sabbaths and other dos or don’ts
Knows no race, color or ethnicity
Knows no age, size or status
Knows no sex or any other preferences
Knows all fulfillment in Jesus and Him alone

Is knowing Jesus The Truth
Is knowing Jesus The Light
Is knowing Jesus The Way
Is knowing Jesus The Life
Is knowing Jesus our Savior and Him alone
