Fear of change often paralyzes personal growth and ministry opportunities, keeping us bound to comfortable yet limiting religious traditions. We explore how the finished work of Christ removes all legal grounds for fear in the believer's life.
• Fear drives us to perform, but faith in the finished work frees us to serve
• Many Christians would rather cling to secure slavery than walk into scary freedom
• Romans 8:1 confirms there is "no condemnation" - not less, but zero
• Being "in Christ" is about position, not behavior - a covenant relationship that can't be broken
• The phrase "it is finished" means the entire system of earning and striving is completed
• Jesus didn't just forgive our sins - he removed our guilt entirely
• Hebrews 10:14 shows we are perfected "forever" through one offering
• Nothing can separate us from God's love - all fears that could disqualify us are addressed
• We don't live under probation, we live under promise
• Fear of others' opinions often prevents us from sharing truth that could set people free
Step out of living in fear and into the freedom Christ secured for you. Trust the Holy Spirit to give you the words when sharing these truths with others who need to hear them.
