Truly Free

'as free as a bird'

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law…So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. [Galatians 5:1; John 8:36 -NLT]

Choosing salvation through Jesus Christ frees us from those things that once held us captive. Getting to know Him, the Word of God, and understanding the truth of the cross – His crucifixion, death, and resurrection – offers you freedom in so many ways that this world cannot.
