True and ultimate freedom is found in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” (John 14:6) Let us praise His Name always as we remember His shed blood for us all at Calvary! Here are 21 Bible verses on different aspects of freedom.
