The
Freedom Of The Average American From The Christian Point Of View
What does
freedom mean to you?
I believe the average American sees
freedom as a vehicle that allows one to do as he or she wants. The average
American Christian most likely views freedom from a similar vantage point.
However, freedom is much more than that. Freedom is not regulated by
circumstances. Freedom is regulated from the heart of those who are free.
What made the slaves revolt and seek
freedom? They were free in their heart. They burned with the desire to live as
their heart was living.
There have been many slaves who have
succumbed to their surroundings, but the man or woman who is free in their
heart will not accept bondage. He or she will fight for freedom. Generally,
those types of individuals will become leaders for a greater cause that will
lead others to freedom as well.
In America today, many have
forgotten what freedom looks like. They are content to accept aid from the
government and maintain the status the government has told them they should
have. Freedom is foreign to them because they are not free at heart. True
freedom is only experienced when on understands the freedom God has granted to
all men and women who will receive His grace.
