Chris Fletcher
January 2 & 5, 2025
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1 (ESV)
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)
7 Steps to Freedom
Admit you’re trapped in sin and repent.
Recognize: the battle is won or lost in your mind.
Meditate on Scripture. Rewire your mind.
Starve the flesh.
Pre-Decide.
Find accountability.
Remember the priority of pursuit.
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:5-9 (ESV)
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 2:1-2 (ESV)
