I'm so sorry that this post is so late. We were out shopping most of the day, then I went to Housemom418's Fourth of July party on Animal Jam! It was a lot of fun. ^.^ We were playing hide and seek, and I thought I was hidden in such a great place, but of course, I was the first to be found. XDD But it was a lot of fun, and hopefully she'll have more of these in the future!
Let's get started with todays post!
Since Fourth of July is tomorrow, I decided I'd post 5 Bible verses that relate to freedom. The Bible talks about freedom a lot, and it might be a bit confusing what it means by freedom. Especially in the New Testament, which talks about Christ setting us free. What did he set us free from?
In the Old Testament, God gave Moses, pretty much the law of the land. This law was super strict. The Israelites were only supposed to eat certain foods, they had to give sacrifices, and so on and so on. God wanted to see if the Israelites would be faithful and fully committed to Him. It was a burden on them for hundreds and thousands of years. But when God sent His son into the world, He freed us from this burden, so now we can walk in complete freedom.

Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Galatians 5:13 (NIV)
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
1 Peter 2:16 (NIV)
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.
John 8:36 (NIV)
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July! Do you have any plans for tomorrow?
