Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free…
Today, we commemorate our independence as Americans! From sea to shining sea, we celebrate with waving flags, marching bands, family picnics, and fireworks exploding in the night sky.
Our Founding Fathers placed such importance on liberty that they named it as one of the inalienable rights with which our Creator endowed each of us. We have staunchly defended, preserved, and advanced this freedom for ourselves and for others suffering under tyranny.
God understood the importance of liberty, the cry of every human heart to be free. He saw us groaning under the weight of unrighteousness, slaves to sin. We were in bondage to every form of evil and corruption, held captive by Satan.
In His lovingkindness, He sent Jesus to proclaim the Good News, to bind up every broken heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open up the prison doors for those who were bound (Luke 4:18). He set us free! We have walked out of the darkness into His marvelous light. Though we were without hope, He brought us near to give us the promise of a glorious future.
As we celebrate our American independence today, let’s rejoice in the soul-deep freedom that we have in our Savior. True liberty is found at the foot of the cross. We proudly wave His banner. When Christ has set you free, you are free indeed!
Blessing:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful freedom that we enjoy in America. More importantly, thank You for sending Jesus to set us free. We acknowledge the sacrifices that were made for our liberty. May we always be “one nation under God.” In Jesus’ name…amen.
