Freedom words


How about some scriptural words about freedom on this Independence Day:

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
—Galatians 5:1

The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
—Luke 4:18-19 (quoting Isaiah 61:1-2)

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
—2 Corinthians 3:17

Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.
—1 Peter 2:16

Have a great Fourth celebrating the freedoms we have.
