As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and based on the facts of God’s Word, I DECLARE myself to be FREE INDEED (John 8:36).
My liberty is seen in three realms: First, concerning the god of this age, to whom I once belonged, I have been DELIVERED from the power of darkness and have been translated into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son (Col. 1:13), turned from the power of Satan unto God (Acts 26:18).
Secondly, concerning my relationship to this world system, my Saviour gave Himself for me that He might deliver and rescue me from this present evil world (age), according to the will of God my Father (Gal. 1:4).
Thirdly, concerning the terrible slavery of sin, the Scriptures declare that though I once was the slave of sin, I am now the slave of God (Rom. 6:17-22) and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (Rom. 8:2).

Great!
Thanks for that.
Amen. Well done.
Wonderfully well written as usual, thanks for that message!
Amen!
That being said, although my *ETERNAL* freedom in Christ far outweighs the blessings of temporal liberty in this life, I am still grateful to God for my temporal freedoms as well.
And although I am a citizen of HEAVEN, I feel blessed to spend my short stay on earth as a citizen of this country.
Amen !
What a blessing!!! thank you
To God be the glory! to all
