13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ~ Galatians 5:13NASB1995
We were all called to freedom in Christ. Meaning we are no longer bound by the chains of sin. Because Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for us when He hung on the tree in order to pay our debts. But did you know He also wants us to be physically free also?
Your physical freedom is also important to Jesus. That is quite evident when we consider the amount of moral freedom He has placed at our disposal. But just as there are those who sneak into the Church to spy on our spiritual freedom, there are those who secretly hate our physical freedom, and their desire is to place chains of tyranny on each one of us.
Freedom is never free. Someone, or someones, has to pay the price for it. Jesus was the only One that was able to pay the price for our sins and break the chains of sin and death and offer us life and spiritual freedom. Our founding fathers and their families, for the love of the country, paid the ultimate price to give us physical freedom through the providence of Almighty God. And it is the brave men and women who, because of that same love, have fought, and many of them have given their lives to keep it.
Now it’s up to us to continue in that God-given love for God and country to continue to protect what cost others so much to give us and protect for us. Because once it’s gone, it’s gone. Three saying is true, “You don’t know what you got until it’s gone.”
Don’t let that be the lament of you and your children. Fight to keep what you have. Be vigilant. Be prayerful. And watch. Love God and love country. God bless you, and God bless America!
