The United States is unique in that our Liberty is derived from God, not the government. Liberty from God is based on the accomplishments of Jesus Christ. Thus, the entire concept of Liberty is spiritual, not temporal. Liberty and its' blessings do not exist without our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Indeed, the capacity to really understand the rights and responsibilities of "liberty" is only found in those who have a personal relationship with the Savior. However, even those who reject God have been able to blindly experience the benefits of liberty in this land.
Hebrews 2:14–15
[14] Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
[15] and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. (ESV)
The worldly critics scoff at this Truth, as they did when Jesus made the following declaration:
John 8:32–33
[32] and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” [33] They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” (ESV)
How many people today would declare that "…we are U.S. citizens, and have never been enslaved…"?
If you desire to REALLY be free then, verbally acknowledge Jesus as your lord (boss), and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (HE LIVES)! Then you will begin a life of Liberty!
Freedom rings in the hearts and minds of those who have the indwelling Life of Jesus—as for your input on our Liberty is based on Christ, and Christ alone; well said.
