The freedom we enjoy as Americans was not cheap. One million brave soldiers paid for it with their blood.
Five signers of the Declaration of Independence were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died. --- Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. --- Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, another had two sons captured. --- Nine of the fifty six fought and died from wounds or the hardships of the Revolutionary War.
While the price for our national freedom was costly and bloody, it pales in comparison to the cost of our spiritual freedom --- the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cruel cross at Calvary.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Would you like to be free? Come to Jesus. He will not turn you away.
