The Price For Freedom

23 “Everything, O king, Araunah gives to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept you.” 24 However, the king said to Araunah, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

The cycle to gain freedom

What is the price for freedom?

The price may include

Your life

Your fortune

Your sacred honor

If you want to be free, you have to first determine if freedom is worth the cost.

What will it take for you to decide?

Masks

Stay at home orders

Mandatory vaccinations

Removing your ability to defend yourself

Taking of your children

Concentration camps

Once you decide, you have to determine direction and make a declaration.

Then the price must be paid, whatever it is

So what about our spiritual freedom?

Romans 5:6–8 NASB95

6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

John 15:13 NASB95

13 “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

1 John 3:16 NASB95

16 We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Romans 12:1 NASB95

1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

2 Peter 2:19 NASB95

19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
