What Does the Bible Say About Freedom?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on freedom
Raamattu käsittelee vapautta monissa kohdissa ja painottaa Jumalan antamaa vapautta sekä velvollisuutta käyttää sitä rakkauden ja oikeudenmukaisuuden hyväksi. Raamatussa korostetaan myös vapauden vastuuta, sillä vapaus ei tarkoita oikeutta tehdä mitä tahansa haluaa, vaan vapautta valita hyvä ja Jumalan tahdon mukainen tie. Jeesus opetti, että totuus tekee vapaaksi ja kehotti seuraajiaan elämään vapaana synnistä ja pelosta.
