Matthew 6:9-10, "This, then is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
What If - "What" denotes a question and "if" denotes a possibility. Therefore, "what if" pulls back the curtain to give a glimpse of a world without limitations; a life of freedom; a life lived for Christ.
I am talking about spiritual freedom. The ability to dream and live for Jesus. Spiritual freedom is quite different from secular freedom. When the world thinks of freedom, the ability to do what you want comes to mind. That is contrary to what we see as freedom in scripture. Biblical freedom means walking in the newness of life, free from the bonds of sin, and living within the freedoms of Christ. It doesn't mean doing what you want, it means doing what is righteous. It doesn't give us the right to do whatever we want, it doesn't even give us the right to do all that we are free to do - if what we do infringes on the the freedom of others. 1 Corinthians 8:9, Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
