Freedom! What is freedom? According to the dictionary, freedom is the state of being free. Each of us human beings, whom God created has freedom; freedom to choose, freedom to worship, and freedom to go anywhere we like. Just one of these, taken away from the people, it will start a revolution, this is when people will keep fighting until they breathe their last just to get their freedom back. Bob Marley, one of the most legendary singers of all time said "Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life."
People fight for freedom, people long for freedom people want freedom. Alex Jones, an American conspiracy theorist, quoted that "Freedom grows out from the barrel of a gun." They are willing to kill just to get their freedom back. Jose Rizal, the Philippine hero, spoke the cries of the Filipinos against the Spaniards, during the Spanish era to set the Filipinos free, free from the harsh treatment of the Spaniards. But what kind of freedom are they all really looking for, what are they really longing for? True freedom that is, true freedom. Jesus came into this world to set us all free, to set you free. Free from what? Free from the bondage of sin. You see the bondage of sin, ensnares us, it keeps us from enjoying the life God has given us. God wants to set us all free, He wants to set you free so he gave us the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17 states that "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom"
YES!!! We can have the freedom to have the conviction to do what is right from wrong. Freedom to have the peace that passeth all understanding even in the midst of a challenging situation. Malcolm X, a human rights activist quoted that
Yes! we can have this freedom, freedom that can't be taken away. Do you want freedom, do you want this kind of freedom? Follow Jesus and you will have this freedom, because Jesus is the truth and the "Truth shall set you free!!" This is "True Freedom"
