Welcome to Marriage Day podcast. I'm Jimmy Evans, and I'm thrilled to have you join us for today's episode. Let's get started.

I want to talk to you today about total freedom, being totally free in every area of our lives.

It's a promise from Jesus.

In John 836, Jesus said, therefore,

if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

That's what I want to talk about.

There's not any area of our lives,

not any bondage in our lives that Jesus wants to remain there.

Jesus died and rose again so that we could experience absolute total freedom.

But a lot of times we get a little confused about this issue of freedom

because we see it one-dimensionally.

We see it from a physical perspective, maybe from a mental perspective,

or something like that. But in Matthew 22, verse 39, Jesus was talking to the Jewish leaders,

and they were asking him what the most important commandment was. And Jesus said this,

you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

And that's an interesting response.

Jesus talks about four areas of our lives.

In other words, we're not just a physical person.

Bondage is not just physical.

We're not just mental people.

Bondage is not just mental. Jesus talks about our soul and our spirit,

our body, our mind, our soul, that's the seed of our will and emotions, and our spirit. Only born again people have a spirit.
