Newly found freedom
Our nation’s founding fathers approved the wording of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This declaration gave the people of this newly formed country a freedom they had not experienced before. Though it took many years for it to become the holiday as it is celebrated today, July 4th has always been an important date in our nation’s history. We celebrate much more than the approval of a declaration. The Fourth of July is a celebration of independence, religious freedom, and freedom from tyranny and oppression.
True Freedom
As a woman, a wife, a mom, and a grandmother—I’m grateful we are free. I’m thankful to be able to pray openly with my family, to read the Bible without fear of any reprisals whatsoever, to take a stand for my faith or witness to others, and pray for those who lack these freedoms. But in Christ we have true spiritual freedom as well.
When we view God’s Word, His laws and commandments, through His eyes then we can see the freedom within them. They free us from bondage and promise blessings in return for obedience. They aren’t meant to hinder us. They protect us. They give us pure freedom to experience the life He intended for us.
A freedom only Jesus can deliver
Are you living in the freedom God has given you in your life? The Lord says that the greatest kind of freedom possible belongs to His children.
Jesus came so we could experience freedom. Not political freedom, or even the personal freedoms we enjoy, but freedom from sin. Whatever the situation and circumstances people of the world suffer—we are free in Christ. Rejoice! Celebrate and walk in this truth every single day!
Lord, thank you for the freedom we have in this country, and through Christ. I want other people to experience Your freedom. Show me who I can minister to. Amen.
