In the United States we celebrate Independence Day today.
What is the true freedom that we celebrate?
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:31-36, TNIV
Our true freedom comes through Jesus Christ in a life lived toward perfect love of God and neighbor.
