The Christian Understanding of Freedom, Part 2

“One who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and con­forms him­self to His divine teach­ing becomes tru­ly free, that is, he is deliv­ered from the pow­er of sin, ceas­es to be a slave of the dev­il, and becomes a child of God.” — Arch­bish­op Averky, The Strug­gle for Virtue

Today’s read­ing on Chris­t­ian free­dom is tak­en from:
