3. Operation Enduring
Freedom
•Name given to ongoing
battle against terrorism
•Personally involved
for a few years

5. Taken for granted by
many
To some it means
Freedom of liberty to do
others is often whatever I wish
ignored

8. This particular freedom is
that which is TRULY
ENDURING!

9. This particular freedom is
totally ignored by multitudes
today
They have no REAL
understanding of their
own enslavement

10. Before you cast this aside and
consider me to be one who has
gone off the deep end,
Please consider what the
Bible has to say about the
matter

11. “And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall set you free.”
John 8:32
“…verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is
the servant of sin.”
John 8:33

12. The simple truth, my friend, is:
All who are born are born already
enslaved in sin
 This is true regardless of
your acceptance of the truth
“As it is written, There is
none righteous, no, not one.”
Romans 3:10

15. John 8:36

16. Freedom (true freedom,
enduring freedom)is possible.
BUT

17. HOW DO I KNOW THIS
FREEDOM????
Glad you asked!!!

18. Admit the truth that
you are a sinner
“For all have sinned,
and come short of the
glory of God.”
“The fool hath said in his
Romans 3:23
heart, there is no God. They
are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is
none that doeth good.”
Psalm 14:1

19. Admit that you cannot
save yourself and,
therefore, NEED A
SAVIOUR
“For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and “For the wages of sin
that not of yourselves: it is death; but the gift
is the gift of God:” of God is eternal life
Ephesians 2:8 through Jesus Christ
our Lord.”
Romans 6:23

20. Repent
Repent of sin as the Word
of God requires
Repent= “A change of
heart, which leads to a
change of mind, which
leads to a change of
behavior.”

21. “…The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the
gospel.”
Mark 1:15
Please notice 2 particular
words in the above REPENT
passage.
BELIEVE

22. BELIEVE:
“For God so loved
the world, that
1. That Jesus He gave His only
Christ loves begotten Son,
you and that whosoever
believeth in Him
gave His life
should not perish,
for your but have
redemption everlasting life.”
John 3:16

23. 2. Nothing
else is needed. “But as many as
received him, to
them gave he
power to become
the sons of God,
even to them that
believe on his
name.”
John 1:12

24. COME AND CONFESS
“Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

25. “Also I say unto you,
Whosoever shall confess me
before men, him shall the
Son of man confess before
the angels of God:
But he that denieth me
before men shall be denied
before the angels of God.
Luke 12:8,9
