Oxymorons are phrases composed of contradictory words, and they often have some degree of humor embedded in them. Irregular pattern. Pretty ugly. Clearly confused. Act naturally. How about gospel freedom? Do we consider it an oxymoron or not? More importantly, do our lives reflect that we consider the phrase, gospel freedom, to be just a figure of speech reserved for use in Bible classes and worship services? In Lesson 8 (summary attached), Paul argued strongly that the gospel should bring freedom to believers, freedom from the fear of unseen evil forces in our lives, freedom from a never-ending quest to earn God's love and to be "good enough" in His eyes, and freedom from religions that elevate the importance of our efforts above what God has done for us through His Son, Jesus. Paul has more to say about freedom, and I hope you can be present in class this week when we discuss:
