What an amazing declaration! More than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, the Continental Congress adopted the United States Declaration of Independence which was a formal declaration explaining why our original 13 colonies should be independent from the rule of Great Britain.
The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 representatives from 13 colonies uniting together for the common cause; turning their vision of freedom into reality. Proclaiming independence from Great Britain and their union to each other, the thirteen colonies became thirteen independent states united together as one nation, now separated from the law and taxes of Great Britain.
The Bible teaches the truth of Thomas Jefferson's proclamation. Paul wrote, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). Jesus told his disciples in John 8:32-33 that they should hold onto His teachings because then they would know the truth and the truth will set them free! If we want to experience liberty, we must seek the Lord and be filled with the Spirit because,"...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Corinthians 3:17b).
Psalm 146 proclaims this truth and today I declare that as a citizen and as a nation we need to acknowledge our Creator and follow the Word of God so that we can again become one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all! Then, we can practice our unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness in God.
May you be blessed this Independence Day and find peace, love, happiness, life and liberty in your Creator, Jesus Christ - the flesh (son) of God.
