Freedom Under God

True freedom goes far deeper than any constitution or government can provide. The freedoms enjoyed in America are gifts from God, worked out through people, governments, and events across history. But freedom always requires responsibility, and the only character worth building is the character of Christ. Political freedom was purchased through the sacrifice of soldiers, yet spiritual freedom came at an even greater cost through the cross of Jesus Christ. A person can be politically free and spiritually bound at the same time, carrying chains of sin, fear, or guilt even while living in a free nation. The hope of America has never rested in Washington D.C. It rests in churches filled with people who seek God. True freedom is not the absence of restraint. It is the presence of Christ ruling in your heart.
