Christian Liberty

Every July 4^th America celebrates her liberty with parades, festivities and family gatherings. We dare not forget the sacrifices that have taken place for us to retain and maintain that precious gift, and we are grateful for those who made freedom possible for the citizens of this great nation.

However, there is another kind of liberty that has been made available to all who would receive it.  The freedom that only Christ Jesus can give.

Since the beginning of mankind, humans became subject to the consequences of sinning against God.  Our freedom to live in this world as God intended had changed, causing Laws to be introduced so that man would learn to obey God by their own free will. 

What changed?  God sent a Redeemer.  The grace of God through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross made it possible for mankind to regain that freedom that was once ours before sin.  We are no longer subject to a long list of rules that are impossible to keep, but are given a new law if we choose to accept it through the gift of salvation.

“I give you a new law. That law is, "Love each other." As I have loved you, so you also love each other.” (John 13:34 (New Testament - WE)

Many willingly chose to give their lives that we may live in a country where freedom is FREE, but it did come with a cost.  It’s honorable to remember individuals, however it was wanting Christian liberty to freely worship, follow and serve Christ Jesus that these souls fought for from the beginning of this nation.  In loving others, let us hold on to this freedom.
