A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all. (next show)”</p><p>Soul's freedom is not external liberty (like political freedom, or freedom from sickness, freedom from being poor, etc.), but what happens when the Word of God comes into contact with the individual.</p><p>Word of God is command and promise (another way of saying Law and Gospel)</p><p>Faith has a threefold power</p><p>1.  Free from Law</p><p>2. Trusts/Honors God</p><p>3. Unites the Soul with Christ</p><p>Faith is fulfillment of 1st commandment.  </p><p>Faith receives double honor: priesthood and kingship.  </p><p>Thus:   A Christian is lord of all, completely free in everything</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3pCUkl2VVhpLUYzVWlPbUtKd2lDMGxIVlQ3QXxBQ3Jtc0tsUUI2X1VWZFFBRE0wZ2paRnMwWWVaUERGbFplZkg3TzVxdWNuRjFJN0otWFNuT2dmQWpSVkJDTjFmVVROUXFZMjhPLTZGc2tPZjhRYjRUXzhIVU9NTVMtb0EtQ01xeXcwV09zZkh3ZF9IeUVJZzRsdw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.castingnetspod.org%2F&amp;v=D0P6ayw2KF0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.castingnetspod.org/</a></p><p>Host: Pastor Will Harley</p><p>Host: Pastor Dave Ruddat</p><p>Song: LegendaryMusic by: CreatorMix.com</p><p>Lets Rock Today</p><p>by leadsquid</p>
