Gentlemen,
As we conclude our walk through the study of freedom we see that we have progressed through the following sequence…
-
Freedom IN Christ
-
Freedom FROM bondage
-
Freedom TO do God’s will
And now we are ready for our fourth and final step which is to use our freedom FOR the ultimate purpose of giving glory to God. The illustration below gives a snapshot of all four dimensions.
As we unpack this truth I will be featuring an interview with Chaplain Jorge Torres and his essay about this aspect of freedom. I pray that you will listen, read, think, and take action.
Also, as a quick note, the registrations for our fall retreats are opening up now so be sure to scroll to the bottom of this email to find the links to these powerful events.
Here’s to Living for God’s Glory!

The Ultimate Purpose of Freedom
By Chaplain Jorge Torres
Freedom FOR…
In today’s world, freedom is often misunderstood as the ability to do whatever we want. But true freedom, as described in the Bible, is about living for the glory of God. As Christian men, our God-given freedom calls us to honor Him in all we do. This is our ultimate purpose.
Understanding True Freedom
Galatians 5:1 says, “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”
Romans 6:22 reminds us, “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.”
