Whether we are celebrating Independence Day or someone’s personal freedom, let us not forget the freedom we have in Christ as sons and daughters of the Most High. Praise the One, Risen Son, of God!
Here is what the Bible has to say with Scripture on Freedom:

Psalm 118:5 – Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.
Psalm 119:32 – I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.
Psalm 119:45 – I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
Luke 4:18-19 – The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
John 8:32 – Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
John 8:36 – So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
2 Corinthians 3:17 – Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Thanks, Mike. I’ve been thinking this morning about the differences between our freedoms as a Christian and as a U.S. citizen so will highlight your post on the Christian Poets & Writers blog. Galatians 5:13 addresses this too: “You were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only don’t let this freedom be an opportunity to indulge your selfish impulses, but serve each other through love,” (CEB.)
Thanks so much Mary!
