“The problem is, they believe that Jesus will take your freedom away,” Cooper continued. “What they don’t understand is that they are already slaves to sin. What they don’t understand is that true freedom is found in Jesus Christ who came so that He can set you free from sin and death!”

Cooper then asked the crowd, “Do you really think that you can defy God and He’s not going to bring judgement?”
Not one to hide from the truth, Cooper shared that this type of thinking isn’t just happening in the secular world but “it’s happening in the Christian world right now as we speak. There’s some Christians—I’m not sure they’re Christians anymore—they’re saying this, ‘Embrace Jesus, just don’t embrace the Bible.’”
Cooper told people it would save them from a lot of heartache if they were open to what the Holy Spirit was saying to them tonight.
He then said, “There is no such thing as loving Jesus but not loving His Word. There’s no such thing. There’s no such thing as divorcing Jesus Christ from the authoritative Word of God. It is time for you young people to tell those celebrities, atheists, and deconstructing Christians alike [that] ‘We are not listening to you anymore! We are not listening to your lies anymore! You think that you are free, but you are a slave to sin! But the blood of Jesus Christ has set me free and who the Son sets free is free indeed, the Bible says!’”
Concluding his talk Cooper exclaimed, “We are losing a generation of young people because they do not understand that the Word of God stands forever. Young people, it’s time for a Jesus revolution. Stand up and tell the world that Jesus Christ is our Lord [and that] we’re not ashamed. Jesus Christ is our Savior!”
