We live in a country and culture where freedom is highly valued, and for good reason. The difficulty, however, arises in our definitions of freedom - what means and what it should look like. One may view freedom as the ability to do as one pleases, while others believe freedom still operates under limitations. These, as well as other definitions, aside, the Bible is clear in its message that true freedom only comes in, through, and from Jesus Christ. These 12 Bible verses about freedom are removed from their original context, but that does not detract from the fact that each verse and passage show how freedom comes from a life in service to God, only made possible through the saving act of Christ. With all that said, here are 12 Bible verses about freedom, all of which can be used for future study or reference.
John 8:31-32 (#1 of 12 Bible Verses about Freedom)
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Acts 13:38-39(#2 of 12 Bible Verses about Freedom)
38 "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
Romans 3:21-24 (#3 of 12 Bible Verses about Freedom)
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short
