What the Bible Says About Freedom

We know that we are free in Christ Jesus as Christians, but have you ever spent time to read through the Bible about specific verses on that freedom? Take some time to reflect with thanksgiving on the following verses:

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners. – Isaiah 61:1

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. – John 3:16

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

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. – John 10:10

But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 6:22-23

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. – Galatians 5:1

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything. – 1 Corinthians 6:12

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts. – Psalm 119:45

Because he holds fast to Me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows My name.  When he calls to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. – Psalm 91:14-15

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord. – Luke 4:18-19
