Free...

A word that has great meaning.  Being free is what the forefathers of our country were looking for as they worked to develop a country based upon freedom.  Since the time of our forefathers, the word free has brought about many discussions to determine exactly what the word free means.  In that, it has been decided the word free has many meanings.  One of the meanings of free is exempt.  If something is free you are exempt from paying.  That is exactly what Christ did for us.  We are free because He paid the price.  As Romans 6:18 notes "having been set free from sin" and John 8:32, "The truth will set you free".  The truth is, Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again so we could be free to live with Him forever.  There is no greater meaning to the word free than that!
