For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus  

from the law of sin and death. - Romans 8:2  

 Happy 4th of July!

Today, we celebrate the birth of our country! It is a celebration of our political freedom and the creation of “the land of the free!” Freedom is one of the great gifts in life.  

For those who follow Jesus, we celebrate an even greater freedom – the freedom from the law of sin and death. Before Christ we were in bondage, a bondage of our own making due to our sinful nature, wrong choices, and selfish hearts. This bondage kept us from experiencing the life of freedom Christ came to give us.  

Just as many gave their lives for our freedom as a country, so one person, Jesus Christ, gave His life for our eternal freedom. His sacrifice opened the doors for us to experience true freedom and true life. We are free indeed in Him.  

We have so much to celebrate on this 4th of July and so much to be thankful for. Freedom to live and be who He created us to be is a gift beyond comprehension. It is just a hint of the freedom we will experience in Christ forever in heaven with Christ.  

Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July as you celebrate freedom in its most profound and wonderful ways.
