Christonomy Part 2: Self-Government or Slavery.

1)Christonomy is the only way the individual Christian should order their life. (Ephesians 4:17-32)

2)God expects his people to be faithful not perfect. Although we are not in a state of perfection, by His Grace we are expected to exert Self-government based on Christ’s law. (Matthew 5:38-48; Genesis 6:8,9; 18:16-19; Numbers 12:1-8)

3)Christ’s commands have the Law of God as their foundation, and lead to liberty. Who commanded us to pray, eat the Word, sing Godly songs, and stand on the Rock? (Matthew 4:1-11; Ephesians 5:8-21)
