Freedom comes at an expense.
Proverbs 14:34, Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
I am reminded on this July 4th, of the men and women who have given their lives so that we can be free. Thousands of heroes and heroines have sacrificed their lives so that America can remain free. I am thankful for the free country I live in. I am thankful for those who have made it possible.
What would all this freedom be if we were not free in Christ though? I’m not so sure we truly understand freedom until we understand the freedom from sin we received when we believed and trusted in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.
Hey friend, freedom comes at an expense. Thankful for us, many have given their lives for that freedom. Even more so, freedom from sin has been made possible to anyone who believes by God’s only begotten Son—Jesus. Have you repented of your sins and trusted Him as Saviour? If not, why don’t you do that right now and it will be the best July 4th you have ever had!
