 It also took a high cost of Jesus' blood to set man free. The Oxford Dictionary defines freedom as the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved. Jesus emancipated mankind on that cross, but man must accept that freedom. John 8, 32 states, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Why not get to know the truth and find freedom from sin through Jesus Christ? This is Richard Boyle, pastor of Marysville Baptist Church.
