What Does it Mean to Be Free?

What does it mean to be free (John 8:34-36)? It means our bodies do not control us, we control it (I Cor 6:13). It means we have the strength to engage self control (Galatians 5:22). It means we regulate our anger (Ephesians 4:26-27). We are free from the need for revenge (Romans 12:17-21) and are not bound by fear (Mt 28:20, 1 John 4:18, Romans 8:28-29).

It means we can enjoy the life God has given to us (Romans 15:13).
