Freedom that is Absolute - John 8:36 - “If the Son sets you free you will be free indeed”

Freedom in Knowing God Personally - 2 Corinthians 3:17 -  “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom”

Freedom from the Bondage of Sin. - Galatians 5:1 -  “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.  Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke slavery.”

Freedom of Belonging (Community) - Galatians 5:13-14 - “You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’." 

Freedom to Enter God’s Presence - Ephesians 3:12 - “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
