"Designed for Godly Freedom" Sermon for Reformation Sunday 2025-10-26

Jesus Christ dwells eternally in His resurrected flesh, setting us free to live in hope and glorify God in our bodies.The true disciple of Jesus doesn’t just “dwell under the house” of His Word, as it were, it’s that the disciple “stands in complete trust” in His Word. And we—Christ’s disciples—have good reason for such a stand: The Son of God has set us free from sin and death by His death and resurrection. (See Jn 8.31-36) Yes, we are truly righteous in Christ, justified by God as a gift. (Rom 3.19-28) As recipients of this “eternal Gospel,” (Rev 14.6) with “God as our refuge and strength,” “we need not fear,” for “the LORD of hosts is with us.” (See Ps 46)
