QUESTION: WHAT CAN CHRIST SET ME FREE FROM?

"Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus..." Acts 20:24 (LB)
4. HAVING TO EARN MY WAY TO HEAVEN
"Christ has set you free from following the world's ideas of how to be saved – by doing good and obeying various rules..." Colossians 2:20 (LB)
"You don't earn the right to heaven... No, for being saved is a gift; If a person could earn it by being good, then it wouldn't be free‑‑but it is!" Romans 4:4 (LB)
"The free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ." Romans 6:23 (LB)
A PRAYER THAT LEADS TO FREEDOM
"Dear God, I believe Jesus Christ was who he claimed to be- your Son, and that he proved it by rising from death. Jesus Christ, thank you for dying for me on the Cross. I want to get to know you personally and experience the freedom you offer. As much as I know how, I ask you to come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. I accept your free gift of salvation. Amen."
