John 8:32  Key verse.  "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall
make ye free."

   Who today knows what freedom means?  or should this be rephrased  
"Who knows what the ultimate freedom is?"
The sad thing is that many of the world doesn't know and would
respond with something like the freedom that America has.  True
freedom is freedom from the bondage of sin.  As the key verse  John
8:32 states  "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye
free."  People go through life wondering if there is something else
besides sex, drugs, immoral talk, drinking, or whatever.  I tell ye
today there is!  It is freedom in Christ from having to deal with the
pressures of this old world and life.  For you see, the fruit of sin
is death (romans 7:5) "for wen we were in the flesh the notions of
sins, which were by the law did work in our members to bring forth
fruit unto death."  But now when we come to the alters and are saved,
we get a greater gift, freedom through Grace.  "...But were sin
abounded, grace did much more abound.  That as sin hath reign unto
death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto ternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord."  (Romans 5:20-21).
When we are saved we know truth and that truth is Jusus Christ. (John
14:6).  Is thereanother way besides God's grace to be free?  I think
not!
When we come to the alters and repent, then go down in the water in
baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and recieve the Holy
Ghost with the evidence of tounges,  Then we can state as Dr. Martin
Luter King Jr. did so many years ago.

"Free at last, Thank God ALmighty Free at Last!!"

If any be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new."  (IICor. 5:17).
