As America approaches its 250th birthday, we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as a nation while reflecting on a deeper freedom found in Jesus Christ. In Galatians 5, the apostle Paul reminds us that Christian freedom is not merely the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to love, serve, and become the people God created us to be.
