"Jesus answered them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a
slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes
you free, you shall be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)
In 1776 Thomas Paine, American Revolution patriot and writer, wrote about the price of
freedom: "What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives
everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be
strange indeed if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated."
The greatest freedoms of all are those found in Christ Jesus. Gal. 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
