The Biblical Context of Liberty

Pastor Joel Santti; Galatians 5:1

Look at this sketch of the Liberty Bell, paying close attention to the upper rim and the inscription it bears:

The inscription quotes part of Leviticus 25:10- "PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF LEV. XXV X."

-Christ has made us free (Gal. 5:1):

...free from bondage (see 2 Cor. 3:17, John 8:31-36, Romans 7:4-6)
...free from condemnation (see Romans 8:1, John 3:18)
...free from the power of death (see 2 Cor. 1:9-10)
...free from wrath and eternal judgment (see 1 Thess. 1:9-10)
