Freedom is not free

The cost of this nation's freedom from the bondage of England was with the suffering and shed blood of many of her patriots but all did not chose freedom. The Tories chose to fight with England and remain in subjection to her rule. The cost of freedom from the bondage of our nation's slaves was also obtained by the shed blood of many of our citizens. However some chose to continue to live and work on the same plantation for the same master even after their freedom was mandated.
Today many continue to chose to remain in bondage to sin even though the price has been paid for their freedom. The payment for sin was death and God sent His son Jesus the Christ to pay the price. Although Jesus shed his blood to pay the price many chose not to accept the payment. They prefer to remain in bondage to sin and allow it to be their master. Too many would rather believe a lie rather than come to the Truth and repent of their sin accepting forgiveness through the payment made by Jesus.
Have you chosen freedom from sin or to remain in bondage and allow it to be master of your life. Just as freedom is not free, a gift is no good unless it is accepted. May freedom be your choice.
