Today’s Good Word is always a good word to hear around the Fourth of July when concepts like independence and liberty are top of mind. 

It’s very worthwhile to remember the hows and whys of American independence. It’s even more worthwhile to remember the hows and whys of our own spiritual freedom from sin and eternal misery.

How? God gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Why? For God so loved the world (and that includes you!)

Let’s thank God today for the plan of salvation that frees us from sin, and let’s thank Jesus Christ for His sacrifice on the cross.
