Remember, there are four freedoms. Not all depends on what others do.
1. Spiritual Freedom – attained by receiving Christ whereby one is born again by the Spirit and has eternal life – the ultimate freedom by grace (Gal. 5:1). Liberty between you and God.
2. Personal Freedom – recovery and healing from dysfunction and personal and emotional injury. Liberty between you and yourself.
3. Economic Freedom – freedom to choose according to one’s own self-interest in the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the marketplace free from gov’t interference. Liberty between you and others.
4. Political Freedom – in America, unoppressive and very limited governance pursuant to the U.S. Constitution, the legal bulwark of the freedom of the just and righteous Rule of Law of the Constitution against the tyranny of the Rule of man. Liberty between you and your gov’t.
