Freedom to know God: Christian freedom is the freedom to know God, to be His, and to have Him as our own.
Freedom to be a new creation: Through Christ's love and forgiveness, we are made into a "new creation" and offered lasting freedom.
Freedom from slavery: We are no longer slaves to our past or bound by our bad choices.

Jesus died for all people, according to Christian belief. The Bible teaches His sacrifice was for the salvation of humanity, offering forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God. Verses like:
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 NASB1995
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8 NASB1995
Emphasis, His death was meant for everyone, regardless of background, sin or status.
Different Christian traditions may emphasize aspects of this sacrifice differently, some focusing on the elect and others on universal atonement (as in Arminianism), but the core message is Jesus' death was an act of love meant to offer salvation to all who believe.
Jesus' greatest gift was salvation and eternal life through His sacrifice on the cross. This gift includes several key blessings accordingly:
1. Forgiveness of Sins
Through His death, Jesus paid for humanity's sins (Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:9). His sacrifice made it possible for people to be cleansed and reconciled with God (Colossians 1:13-14).
2. Eternal Life
Jesus offers everlasting life to those who believe in Him (John 3:16, Romans 6:23). He conquered death through His resurrection, giving hope beyond the grave (John 11:25-26).
3. The Holy Spirit
Jesus promised and gave the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, and empower believers (John 14:16-17, Acts 2:38).
4. Peace and Joy
He offers a deep, lasting peace surpassing all understanding (John 14:27, Philippians 4:7). True joy comes from knowing Him (John 15:11).
5. Victory Over Sin and Death
Jesus' resurrection proves sin and death have been defeated (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). Believers are no longer enslaved to sin but are made new in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
6. Adoption as Children of God
Those who believe in Jesus become part of God's family (John 1:12, Romans 8:15-17). This means an eternal inheritance in God's kingdom (Ephesians 1:3-5).
7. A Personal Relationship with God
Jesus made it possible for people to have direct access to God (Hebrews 4:16). He invites everyone into a personal and loving relationship with Him (Revelation 3:20).
All of these gifts are freely given to those who accept Jesus by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). His gift is often called grace (something we don't earn but receive because of His love).
Jesus' death is central, because it fulfilled God's plan for salvation. Here are the main reasons why:
1. To Pay for Humanity's Sins
The Bible teaches sin separates people from God (Isaiah 59:2, Romans 6:23). In the Old Testament, sacrifices were required for the forgiveness of sins (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus, as the perfect and sinless sacrifice (Hebrews 4:15), died to take the punishment humanity deserved (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:18).
2. To Fulfill Prophecy
The Old Testament predicted a suffering servant who would bear the sins of many (Isaiah 53:5-7). Jesus' death fulfilled these prophecies (Luke 24:25-27).
3. To Defeat Sin, Death, and Satan
By dying and rising again, Jesus broke the power of sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). His victory over death offers eternal life to believers (John 11:25-26).
4. To Show God's Love and Justice
God is both loving and just (Psalm 89:14, Romans 3:25-26). The cross demonstrates God's love (John 3:16) while also satisfying justice by paying for sin.
5. To Reconcile Humanity with God
Sin created a barrier between people and God (Colossians 1:21-22). Jesus' death provided a way for people to be restored in their relationship with God (Romans 5:10-11).
In short, Jesus died to bring salvation, fulfill prophecy, demonstrate God's love, and restore the broken relationship between humanity and God. His resurrection then proved His victory and power over sin and death.
Each of us has a different sin story needing repentance. Whether we personally believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is a personal decision. Anyone can accept Jesus Christ and be free in God by His cleansing blood shed on the cross regardless of our past. There is nothing to prepare, rather, accepting by faith and living a changed, reborn life through Him. A personal relationship with Him is yours to receive.
Everyone's first step towards eternal freedom is sin repentance with salvation.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." - John 3:16-21 NASB1995
His unmistakable light shines endlessly through our darkness. The Holy Spirit searches for lost souls and touches them. He helps everyone realize personally the transforming power of Jesus Christ's gift on the cross. We all need Jesus Christ. Every one of us. Jesus Christ love us regardless our sins and circumstances, and everyone can accept His love and peace right now.
From my distress I called upon the Lord; The Lord answered me and set me in a large place. - Psalm 118:5 NASB1995
What is the peace Jesus gives?
According to the Bible, Jesus offers a unique kind of peace different from what the world provides.
1. Peace with God (Reconciliation)
Because of sin, humanity was separated from God. Jesus' death and resurrection restored our relationship.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, - Romans 5:1 NASB1995
2. Inner Peace (Freedom from Anxiety and Fear)
Jesus gives a deep, unshakable peace sustaining believers even in difficult times.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. - John 14:27 NASB1995
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:7 NASB1995
3. Peace with Others (Unity and Love)
Jesus calls His followers to live in peace with others, showing love and forgiveness.
For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, - Ephesians 2:14 NASB1995
4. Peace in the Midst of Trials
Even in suffering, Jesus' followers can have peace because they trust in Him.
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 NASB1995
The peace Jesus gives is not just an absence of conflict but a deep, spiritual rest in knowing God is in control. It is a firm peace in every situation, no matter how difficult.
Once we open our heart and invite the Holy Spirit in, the chains enslaving us will be broken. Jesus Christ's grace and mercy on the cross liberates us to walk in a relationship with Him and be the person God created us to be. Jesus Christ's forgiveness frees us to live in the power of His Spirit not in ourselves. This means we are no longer sin's slave. We are no longer wrestling in our own attempts or our own flesh. We are free. We are free indeed.
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; - Isaiah 61:1 NASB1995
Eternally free people are those who have made Jesus Christ their Savior, Master and Lord.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." - John 8:32 NASB1995
The great news is the Bible is positive about families. The family was God's idea, creation and is an integral part of being human. Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and teach them to love and serve one another.
My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life - Proverbs 6:20-23 NASB1995
God affirms families.
He has always created families to be something powerfully good, places of belonging and trust with learning and loving. God does more than simply lay down a commandment. His Holy Word tells us God is not distant or remote. He cherishes us and grieves with and over us. He sets the example by being the model parent who cares for and nurtures us.
In the Bible, we see God's good plan for families. Through marriage, He brings men and women together to create brand-new families (Genesis 2:23). He gives children as a gift (Psalm 127:3). And through Jesus Christ, God makes a way for all of us to be part of His eternal family.
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. - 1 John 3:1 NASB1995
God is everything a father should be perfectly good, faithful, true and trustworthy.
He can always be relied on. He is the ultimate parent, like the closest, most caring guardian or gentlest mother, and He particularly cares for those who are broken by their upbringing. He can heal us and strengthen us.
The wonderful truth is not only does God command us to be like Him, through the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, He also enables us to be more like Him.
Only with His power and healing can we hope to live out God's plan for us.
It is about Him.
Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God'; and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." - John 8:54-56 NASB1995
