I Love My Shepherd 24 – Chasing Freedom 2: Freedom from the pendulum swing of self
What is the pendulum swing?
I’m a good person, I’m pretty great = self love
I’m terrible, I can’t do anything= self hate
Both are destructive, what can Galatians 2:19-21 teach us:
God walks us through a path that might seem uncomfortable first, but it opens up to freedom.
Law/Gospel –
The law bears down.
1 Timothy 1:15 – worst of sinners
Gospel –
God is doing something in us with all that junk.
We died to the law to live to God. (Galatians 2:19)
I died to me, so I can remember who I am in Him.
1 Timothy 1:16
Freedom to look at the law, so that I can see the mercy.
