Episode 135: Dual Citizenship

Throughout all of history, the concept of "freedom" has been debated over, fought over, won, and lost. Today there are countries where people are struggling for any freedom they can get, other countries are in a gray area of freedom, and still others are getting very nervous that their freedoms are being lost. As we, in the United States of America celebrate our July 4th, Independence Day holiday, we are among the peoples becoming more and more concerned that our freedoms in general and our religious freedoms specifically are being threatened. 

Regardless of that debate, those of us that are truly saved in Christ know that our truth, our foundation is found in God's Word. We may be citizens of a country, but we are also (and more importantly) citizens of Heaven. Our freedom, our liberty, is truly and eternally found in one place - Jesus Christ. Although the human side can be frail, we know that the Born-Again Christian locked in the deepest, darkest dungeon of the most oppressive country run by the most tyrannical ruler is more free than one who is unsaved, living a life of decadence in an earthly paradise. For the unsaved individual, life is imprisonment and enslavement to sin and death, despite what it may appear on the human surface. 

Join Pastor Jason as he further reveals what God's Word has to say about the freedom we have in Jesus Christ and the responsibility that comes with that freedom.
