Some verses from the Bible about freedom.

Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is on me. He has sent me to announce freedom for prisoners. He wants me to free those who are beaten down.

John 8:32, 36
Then you will know the truth. And the truth will set you free. If the Son of Man sets you free, you will really be free.

Romans 6:18; 8:2; 8:20, 21
You have been set free from sin. You have become slaves to right living. I am now controlled by the law of the Holy Spirit. That law gives me life because of what Christ Jesus has done. It has set me free from the law of sin that brings death. The created world was bound to fail. But God planned to set the created world free. He didn't want it to rot away. Instead, he wanted it to have the same glorious freedom that his children have.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Holy Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is also there.

Galatians 5:1, 13
Christ has set us free. He wants us to enjoy freedom. So stand firm. Don't let the chains of slavery hold you again. My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don't use your freedom as an excuse to live in sin. Instead, serve one another in love.

James 1:25
Take a good look at the perfect law that gives freedom. Keep looking at it. Don't forget what you've heard, but do what the law says. Then you will be blessed in what you do.

Revelation 1:5
Give glory and power to the One who loves us! He has set us free from our sins by pouring out his blood for us.
