Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

 

Today is the 4th of July. It is INDEPENDENCE DAY in the United States of America. On this day we celebrate the liberty and freedom we have as citizens of America. 248 years ago our forefathers fought and died on the battlefield so we can live in freedom here in America.

 

These men based our Founding Documents on the Holy Word of God and the Freedom we have as born-again Christians. Jesus went to the Cross of Calvary and shed His Perfect Blood so we can live abundant lives in freedom from the enslavement of Satan.

 

I hope you can draw a correlation between the two. The Crucifixion of Christ brings Spiritual Freedom to all who believe. The Revolutionary War and all the blood that was shed on those battlefields bring freedom to every American.

 

Freedom is not free. Someone shed their blood and died so you can be free. Jesus shed His Blood and died so we can be spiritually free. This is the foundational Truth behind all our Founding Documents.

 

As you celebrate Independence Day remember the blood that was shed by those thousands of American soldiers 248 years ago. But more importantly, remember the Blood that was shed by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. All freedom requires the shedding of blood. Freedom is not free.

 

Jesus shed His Blood to……..….turn the tide...........in this world!

 

Thank you Lord!         Doreen
