This powerful statement finds its roots in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, speaking of a liberation that is both spiritual and practical. True faith isn't just belief; it is a trusting embrace of truth that breaks every chain.
Here is a poem exploring this profound freedom.

The Faith That Sets Us Free
Our faith is not a fragile chain, That binds us to a life of pain. It is not a wall,a lock, a door, That keeps us from so much more.
It is the key, the light, the spark, That breaks the dark and leaves its mark On every prison we have known, By truth and trust,our freedom’s shown.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(John 8:32)
Our faith sets free from guilt and shame, The power of our past to name. It points us to the cross,the place, Where Jesus took our deep disgrace. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”(Romans 8:1)
Our faith sets free from fear’s tight grip, On trembling heart and trembling lip. It speaks of One who holds the keys, And whispers,“Rest, be still, be eased.” “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.”(Romans 8:15)
Our faith sets free from sin’s harsh rule, Its empty,never-filling fuel. It connects us to a greater Power, To live in freedom,hour by hour. “Sin shall no longer be your master, for you are not under the law, but under grace.”(Romans 6:14)
Our faith sets free from hollow lies, That right before our loving eyes. It clothes us in a truer name, And breaks the enemy’s cruel claim. “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)
So let this faith arise and be The force that truly sets us free. Not just a thought inside the mind, But liberation for all humankind.
For “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2 Corinthians 3:17) And our faith welcomes Him to reign, And break the yoke,and break the chain.
Our faith—in Christ—will set us free. This is His sure and strong decree. So believe,and live, and truly see.
