True Freedom
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage.
The Declaration of Independence
250 years Ago(Opening Statement)
We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct
object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States. To prove this,
let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the
most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.
John Adams
“A Constitution of
Government once changed
from Freedom, can never be
restored. Liberty, once lost, is
lost forever.”
Our Constitution was made only
for a moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the
government of any other.
John Adams
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech, or of
the press; or the right of the people
peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of
grievances.
George Fox
George Fox read and devoured the
Bible, and he knew it thoroughly.
Biblical principles moulded his beliefs
and practices, yet he also witnessed
many practices in other churches
which he considered quite liberal or
unbiblical. He felt that Christian life
and practice should be simpler,
based on the actual teachings of
Jesus and the New Testament. He
believed that Christians should live an
ethical life ruled by the highest
biblical, moral principles, and be
guided by the Holy Spirit and the
conscience.
John WyCliffe
Trust wholly in Christ; rely altogether
on His sufferings; beware of seeking
to be justified in any other way than by
His righteousness.
Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is
sufficient for salvation. There must be
atonement made for sin according to
the righteousness of God. The person
to make this atonement must be God
and man.

Act 15:10 Now therefore why tempt
ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck
of the disciples, which neither our
fathers nor we were able to bear?
Act 15:11 But we believe that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ we shall be saved, even as
they.
True Freedom
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made
us free, and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage.
In Danger of Losing there Freedom
Gal_1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon
removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal_1:7 Which is not another; but there be
some that trouble you, and would pervert
the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be
accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I
now again, If any man preach any
other gospel unto you than that ye
have received, let him be accursed.
Jud 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all
diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for
me to write unto you, and exhort you
that ye should earnestly contend for
the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints.
Jud 1:4 For there are certain men
crept in unawares, who were before
of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, turning the grace of
our God into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and our
Lord Jesus Christ.
