Freedom is not free, many Americans fought and died in many wars to obtain the freedom we enjoy and sometimes abuse. As wonderful as our freedoms are, they’re only temporal.

Satan delivered the right message but used subtlety to distort Jesus’ perception and get Him into presumption. Jesus didn’t fall for it. Wrong teaching can prevent us from accessing God’s grace by undermining our faith.

The gospel is great news. No matter what our situation is Jesus is our jubilee. Every door Adam opened, Jesus closed. Every door Adam closed, Jesus opened. Everything lost by Adam is restored or returned in Christ.

The gospel we hear is the gospel we have faith in and we’ll ultimately live by. If what we hear is based on religious tradition or church doctrine, then our faith will be in what we hear. For this reason, Jesus said we are to take heed of what we hear and how we hear it.
