Freedom

FREEDOM: Webster declares it as a state or quality of being free; liberation from the control of some arbitrary power; a right or a privilege; abscence of repression.

William Wallace in the movie "Braveheart" gives his life to be freed; and free his followers from the oppression of Longshanks in Scotland. Wallace learned and witnessed to others by his death that freedom is not cheap.

As children of God, we enjoy a freedom that will last eternally. Paul in Galatians 5:1; says that "It is for freedom that Christ has set us Free". Freedom from sin through Jesus Christ is free for all who will take up their cross and follow him. Freedom from sin is free for the taking.

Jesus offers freedom to all his children without reservation and without strings attached. A price paid by him for freedom from our past sins and transgressions against our Heavenly Father and others.

Revelations 1:5; To Jesus who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood.

Romans 6:22; You have been set "free" from sin, and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

There is not a greater freedom, or anything that compares to the promise allowed by that freedom given to us by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

"Our Heavenly Father, thank you for your love, grace, and mercy towards us as your children.Father, thank-you for the freedom we are allowed by being your children. Freedom from past sins, freedom to enter into eternity because of your love for us since the beginning of your creation. Father cause us to be reminded of that freedom through you and may we always be reminded to be as loving, forgiving, and accepting of others as your son was when he hung on that cross. In his name we pray Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, Amen."
