Freedom is very important to Americans.
Our country was founded on freedom or liberty.
Listen to the words of our Pledge:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
one nation, under God, indivisible, with *liberty* and justice for all.
Wars have been fought for freedom and many lives have been lost.
Let me give you some statistics:
· Revolutionary War – 4435
· Civil War – North – 140,414, South – 74,524, Total – 214,934
· World War I – 53,402
· World War II – 292,557
· Korea – 33,686
· Vietnam – 47,410
43 million men and women have served this country in the armed services to date and there are 19,400,00 veterans still alive today.
Today we experience more freedom than any other country in the world because of those who served and died for us.
We owe them so very much!
Tomorrow is Memorial Day, the day we remember those who died in our nation’s service.
So, let’s observe a moment of silence in memory of their great sacrifice.
*MOMENT OF SILENCE*
* *
Thank you!
Yes, we love our freedom here in the USA, don’t we?
But do you realize that long before the US was formed, someone had already died for our freedom.
Turn with me to Galatians 5:1.

*FREEDOM – WHAT IT IS*

/Galatians 5/
/1 Christian Liberty /
/Stand fast therefore in the *liberty* by which Christ has made us *free*, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

The Holman Christian Standard Bible says it this way… “Christ has liberated us into freedom.”
That’s right, Jesus Christ came to liberate us, free us, into freedom.
Let’s look at another passage that supports this one.
/Luke 4:18-19/
/ /
/18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, /
/because he has anointed me /
/to preach good news to the poor.
/
/He has sent me to proclaim *freedom* for the prisoners /
/and recovery of sight for the blind, /
/to *release* the oppressed, /
/ 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
/
/NIV/
/ /
Jesus Christ came to set us free – to give us true freedom.
Another verse says…
/John 8:36/
/36 Therefore if the Son makes you *free*, you shall be *free* indeed.
/
/NKJV/
