to set free those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

The Lord answered me and put me in a wide open place.
Psalms 118:5
14
No, this is the kind of fast I want.
I want you to remove the sinful chains,
to tear away the ropes of the burdensome yoke,
to set free the oppressed,
and to break every burdensome yoke.
I want you to share your food with the hungry
and to provide shelter for homeless, oppressed people.
When you see someone naked, clothe him!
Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood!
Then your light will shine like the sunrise;
your restoration will quickly arrive;
your godly behavior will go before you,
and the Lord’s splendor will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:6-8

Simon? From whom do earthly kings collect tolls or taxes – from their sons or from foreigners?” After he said, “From
foreigners,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ,
then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:27-29
20
But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who
were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights. And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of
his Son into our hearts, who calls “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are
also an heir through God.

You, however, have followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance, as

persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all. Now in fact all who want to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be
persecuted.

From John, to the seven churches that are in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from “he who is,” and who was,
and who is still to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ – the
faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, the ruler over the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has

Father – to him be the glory and the power for ever and ever! Amen.

and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. (I am speaking in human terms because of the

more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much
more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many! And the gift is not
like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift
from the many failures led to justification.
Romans 5:15-16
