Freedom


Proverbs 22:4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
Humilityfreedom from pride and arrogance; humbleness of mind; a modest estimate of one's own worth. In theology, humility consists in lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one's own unworthiness in the sight of God, self-abasement, penitence for sin, and submission to the divine will.
FearA painful emotion or passion excited by an expectation of evil, or the apprehension of impending danger. Fear is the passion of our nature which excites us to provide for our security, on the approach of evil.⬅
By freedom from pride and the passion of our nature which excites us to provide for up our security on the approaching of evil. By these two there comes;
#1➡ RICHES: Riches are not always money
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
 What's going on in our heart, what do you really want, desire?
#2➡ HONOR: The esteem due or paid to worth; high estimation.
Matthew 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Your family and friends may not think you're worth much honor but as you see they are not the ones giving honor.
#3➡ LIFE: That word "life" is mention in the book of Matthew 24 times, in the book of Mark 14 times, in the book of Luke 28 times but in the book of John it is uses 76 times. That is interesting, here are a few times it's used.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
 I can see where real life is; Jesus!
