If the son set you free, you will be free indeed.

That is one of the most powerful and liberating declarations in all of Scripture. It speaks not of a superficial freedom, but of a deep, permanent, and transformative release from the core bondage of sin.

Here is a poem on that profound truth.

The Emancipation Proclamation of the Soul

You promise not a loosened chain, A temporary break from pain, A limited and partial plea— But an eternal liberty.

The freedom fought for, never won, Beneath a temporary sun, Is not the freedom that You give, The freedom by which sinners live.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)

This is the freedom of the will, Unbroken by the tempter’s skill. The freedom to say“no” to shame, And“yes” to glorify Your name.

It is the freedom from the grave, The power of sin,no more your slave. The freedom from the law’s demand, Fulfilled by His nail-pierced hand.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)

This is the freedom of the heart, To know we are a work of art, Restored,redeemed, and called Your own, A child before the royal throne.

No more to cower, hide, or fear, For perfect love has cast it out here. No more to strive for vain reward, For we are fully loved,O Lord.

So let me walk in this true state, No longer bound by fear or fate. But standing firm in what He’s done— The victory is fully won.

If the Son set you free—He has! The deed is done.The door unlatched. The prison cell is open wide, With You,the Free One, now inside.

You are not merely breaking out, You’re walking forth with joyful shout, A citizen of heaven’s realm, Who’s taken freedom at the helm.

You are free indeed. So live like it.Believe like it. Breathe like it.
