HIE CHOWAN HERALD Make Going To Church A Habit SET FREE TO SERVE • —i International Sunday School Lesson For Sunday, July 4, 1971 MEMORY SELECTION: “You were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your free dom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another.” —Gal. 5:13. LESSON TEXT: Mark 10:43-45; John 8:31-43; I Corinthians 6:12; 9:19-23; Galatians 5:13-26. Today we, devoting our time and our efforts to the Book of Galatians, enter into a new series, analyzing the responsibilities of a true Chris tian. The Bible speaks to everyone regarding Chris tian responsibilities. It speaks of freedom with out license, and that freedom must acknowledge the rights of others, and the restraints that necessarily be imposed on the true Christian, to enable him to effectively operate within the framework of God’s universal plan. A study of our background material for this lesson will reveal conflicting opinions on the matter of freedom. Certain Jews, opposing Christ, held that they were never, in fact, in bondage. Note, specifically, Christ’s reply to this contention ... by their determination to kill Him, they were, indeed, in bondage to evil. The pertinent fact was then (and still is today) that Only through God, and dedicated service in His name, could they know the true meaning of freedom. Paul, himself, continually sought to establish that salvation would be by FAITH, and not LAW . . . this at a time when certain Jewish ele ments were trying to enforce the concepts of the Mosiac law on converts. Certainly Paul was in a position to expound upon his belief, for, in studying his life and his writings, we find that he had known both bondage and freedom. While he rejoiced in the latter, however, ho drew a sharp and uncompromising line of distinction between what he COULD do and what he SHOULD do. The battle between liberty and license is of ten a daily one for most people; the flesh con stantly wages war with the spiritual side of man. Being human, we will never be free of the temp tations of the flesh, but our battles will be made more bearable if we will acknowledge the presence of God in our lives and heed the re straining force imbued by our spiritual concepts. Galatians 5, verses 19-21 lists the “sins of the body” to which men are heir; enmity, strife, jealousy, anger . . . these and the related emo tions of envy and selfishness should be exercised. The same Book, however, goes on to relate the opposite and admirable tributes which should rule our lives; these “fruits of the spirit” are love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, hu mility and temperance in all things. And it will only be through the practice of the positive as pects of our faith, in our dealings with our fellow men. that we will experience the menniug of true Christian freedom. In Christ we have liberty to grow and serve. Your Happy Shopping Store W. E. SMITH GENERAL MERCHANDISE "Rocky Hock 1 ' Phone 221-4031 Edenton M. G. BROWN CO., INC.
