True Freedom

Lately I have been thinking about freedom and what it really means. What is true freedom? Is it being able to do whatever you want? Is political and physical freedom enough to truly set one free?

The truth is that even though we might have physical and political freedom, we still put ourselves in bondage. We are never entirely free, unless we find a way to set our spirits free.  We often chose to put our spirits in captivity for the pleasures of this life. There is indeed nothing that will keep us truly free from ourselves and other harmful things except one thing.

Knowing the SPIRITUALTRUTH is the only thing that can set us free.

John 8:32
………“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

The only thing that can set you free is acknowledging the truth of Jesus Christ. He is the only one who can set your spirit free and show you the real and true freedom. Without Him, you will never taste true freedom.

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

We need freedom….

Psalm 142:7
Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name……
