Not Just Forgiven, Free: The Believer's Declaration of Independence

What does the Fourth of July have to do with your walk with Jesus? In this episode of the Glorify & Grow podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church (Bosque Farms, NM) unpacks Romans 6 and the believer's own Declaration of Independence — freedom from the tyranny of sin.

Using a memorable archery illustration and the story behind July 4th, 1776, Pastor Thomas shows why signing the "declaration" to follow Christ doesn't end the war — it starts it. If your battles intensified after you came to faith, this message explains why, and points you to the victory Jesus already won.

In this episode:
• Why the resurrection is "heaven's Declaration of Independence" for every believer
• Romans 6:14 — sin shall no longer be your master
• The difference between being rescued and being set free
• Why spiritual attacks often increase after you follow Jesus
• What it means that your old self — and your old record — is dead and expunged

"Jesus came not just to rescue us, but to free us."
