Freedom is an endearing desire for all mankind, unfortunately it is sometimes out of reach for many. Our nation was founded upon this most precious of human principles, fought for, preserved, and cherished throughout the last 246 years. In that time, our nation has thrived and prospered, despite some setbacks and stagnation, however its citizens remain free.
Beyond freedoms within the nation, we as Christians have a more precious freedom in Christ. This freedom is not bound to laws, stipulations of works, or because of some innate birthright, but rather through the faith and confession of the believer in Jesus Christ. In Him, we have freedom from the penalty of sin, freedom from the punishment of sin, and one day freedom from the presence of sin. This freedom can never be taken away, for our security and hope of eternal freedom is in Christ alone.
May the freedom you celebrate and rejoice in always be centered in Christ.
May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you.
