- Galatians 5:1

But what is freedom, really?

When we break from the past and follow Jesus, we let go of our sin – freedom.

Even when life is not going well, even when we have a sordid past, we have a future, and that future is in Christ Jesus.

True freedom, my friends, can be found in Him.

Freedom in Christ.
