As we celebrate the 4th of July in this country, let’s pause and think on our true and lasting freedom we have in Christ- a freedom that is available to anyone anywhere and is sure and eternal!
Here are a few verses to meditate on:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” -Jesus in Luke 4:18-19
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” -Galatians 5:1
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” -Galatians 5:13
