Freedom Isn't Free - The Price of Liberty in Two Realms
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1 (KJV)
The phrase "freedom isn't free" adorns monuments and memorials across our nation, reminding us that liberty always comes at a cost. Someone always pays the price for someone else's freedom.
Our founding fathers understood this truth when they pledged "our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor" for independence. Generations of Americans have honored that pledge, paying freedom's price with their blood on foreign shores and domestic soil. They understood that some things are worth dying for, and liberty tops that list.
But there's another freedom that came at an even greater cost—our spiritual liberty. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19, KJV).
Christ paid the ultimate price to free us from sin's tyranny. His sacrifice on the cross broke every chain that bound us to spiritual death and eternal separation from God. The freedom He purchased isn't just for this life—it's freedom that lasts forever.
As we honor our military heroes today, let us also honor the Hero of Calvary. Both freedoms demand our gratitude and our commitment to live as free people, not returning to the bondage from which we've been delivered.
