Have you ever stopped to think of Liberty as an attribute of God’s  nature, just like joy or gentleness, and a manifestation of His kingdom  here on earth?

Consider these scriptures:

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17).

“It is for freedom that Christ has set you free. Stand firm and be not encumbered again with a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1).

“For  you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as  an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”  (Galatians 5:13).

“Whom the Son sets free is free indeed” (John 8:32).

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:36).

“He  has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the  captives and freedom to the prisoners” (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:19).

“Isn’t  this the fast that I have chosen: to break the chains of wickedness, to  untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and tear off  every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6)...

In fact, the inscription on the Liberty Bell contains Leviticus 25:10 and  reads, “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all inhabitants  thereof.”
