The Path to Freedom

Psalm 119:41–48  (ID: 3374)

Today’s culture exhorts us to be masters of our own destinies, in control of our own lives, and absent any restrictions other than our own. True freedom, though, is actually found in obeying God’s precepts, not in release from them. Examining the cultural, biblical, and personal significance of freedom, Alistair Begg helps us discover that even a self-serving life is enslaving. Abiding rest is ours only when we surrender our lives to Christ and receive the forgiveness He freely offers.

41Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,

your salvation according to your promise;

42then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

43And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,

for my hope is in your rules.

44I will keep your law continually,

forever and ever,

45and I shall walk in a wide place,

for I have sought your precepts.

46I will also speak of your testimonies before kings

and shall not be put to shame,

47for I find my delight in your commandments,

which I love.

48I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,

and I will meditate on your statutes.
