30 Bible Verses about Freedom, Abuse Of Christian

THERE is no condemnation therefore to those in Christ Jesus;

Who will bring a charge against God's elect? It is God that justifies; who is he that condemns? Is it Christ who died, and still more, who has also been raised, and who is on the right hand of God, and who makes intercession for us? Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall affliction or distress, persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?read more.
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter. But in all these things we more than conquer, through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

by the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blame and without fault before him,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood,

Jesus answered them, I tell you most truly, that every one who commits sin is a servant of the sin. But the servant continues not in the house for ever; the Son continues for ever. If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

Know you not that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, his servants you are whom you obey, whether of sin in death or of obedience in righteousness? But thanks be to God that you were servants of sin, but obeyed from the heart the form of teaching in which you were instructed, and having become free from sin you served righteousness.

For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I do this I approve not; for I do not what I wish, but what I hate, this I do. But if what I wish not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good;read more.
and now I no longer do it, but the sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not; for the good which I wish I do not, but the evil which I wish not this I do. But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me. I find therefore the law, that when I wish to do good evil is present with me; for I consent to the law of God as to my inward man, [my soul], but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. Miserable man that I am; who will deliver me from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord; therefore I myself with the mind serve the law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin.

For the servant called in the Lord is the Lord's freeman; in like manner the called freeman is Christ's servant. You are bought with a price; be not servants of men.

Therefore also we, having so great a cloud of witnesses lying around us, laying aside every impediment and sin which entirely surrounds us, let us run with patience the race set before us, looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God.

If any one sees his brother commit a sin, not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life, for those who sin not to death. There is a sin to death; I say not that you should pray for it. All wickedness is sin, and there is sin not to death. We know that every one who has been born of God does not sin, but he that has been born of God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.

WHAT shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that the grace may abound? By no means. How shall we who died to sin any longer live in it?

But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak as a man;??6 by no means;??ince [if he was] how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God abounded by my falsehood to his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? And as we are falsely accused and as some declare that we say, [do we say] Let us do evil that good may come? Whose judgment is just.

All things are lawful, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful, but all things do not edify.

But if seeking to be justified by Christ we are found to be ourselves also sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? By no means. For if I build up again what I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For by a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God.read more.
I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not reject the grace of God; for if rightousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak. For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge?read more.
But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

And we, the strong, ought to bear the infirmities of those who are not strong, and not to please ourselves. Let us each please our neighbor in that which is good for edification; for Christ also pleased not himself, but, as it is written, The reproaches of those that reproached thee fell on me.

For you are called to liberty, brothers, only make not your liberty an occasion for the flesh, but by love serve one another.

RECEIVE the weak in faith, not to doubtful reasonings. For one has faith to eat all things, but he that is weak eats vegetables. Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him that eats not judge him that eats; for God has accepted him.read more.
Who are you that judge another man's servant? To his master he stands or falls; and he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. One judges one day to be better than another, but another judges every day [to be alike]. Let each one be fully persuaded in his mind. He that observes the day observes it to the Lord, and he that observes not the day observes it not to the Lord. And he that eats eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not eats not to the Lord, and gives God thanks. For no one of us lives for himself; and no one dies for himself; for if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For this end Christ died and lived again, that he might exercise lordship over the dead and living. But why do you judge your brother? why do you set at nought your brother? for we must all stand at the tribunal of God. For it is written, [As] I live, says the Lord, to me every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess to God. Each of us therefore shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another, but judge this rather, not to place a stumbling-block or an offense before a brother. I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is defiled in itself, except to him that thinks any thing to be defiled; to him it is defiled. For if your brother is grieved by your food, you no longer walk in love. Destroy not with your food him for whom Christ died. Let not your good therefore be injuriously spoken of. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; for he that in this serves Christ is well pleasing to God and approved by men.

as free, and not using freedom for a cloak of vice, but as servants of God.

Therefore also we, having so great a cloud of witnesses lying around us, laying aside every impediment and sin which entirely surrounds us, let us run with patience the race set before us,

No one that continues in him sins; no one that sins has seen him, or known him.

Every one that commits sin commits also wickedness, and sin is wickedness.

and being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is completed.

Let no man deceive you with vain words; for on account of these comes the wrath of God on the children of disobedience.

And whoever has the goods of the world and sees his brother have need, and withholds his compassions from him, how continues the love of God in him?

And if you love those that love you, what thanks have you? for sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks have you? for sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what thanks have you? sinners also lend to sinners, to receive back as much again.

And concerning things offered to idols we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. And if any one thinks he knows any thing, he yet knows nothing as he ought to know; but if any one loves God, this [man] is known by him.read more.
Concerning eating things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. For even if there are those called Gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as there are many gods and many lords, yet to us there is one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and we through him. But all have not this knowledge; and some with the conscience [unenlightened] even till now eat an idol's [sacrifice] as an idol's sacrifice, and their conscience being weak is defiled. But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat not are we worse, nor if we eat are we better. But beware lest your liberty should become an offense to the weak. For if any one sees you who have knowledge reclining in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him that is weak be emboldened to eat things offered to idols? And will not the weak brother for whom Christ died perish by your knowledge? But when you thus sin against the brothers, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food offends my brother, I will eat no meat forever, that I may not offend my brother.

But I have a few things against you; you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put an occasion of sin before the children of Israel, both to eat things offered to idols and to commit fornication.
