entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1

 

Therefore if the Son makes you

the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

AND

2. NATIONAL FREEDOM

who have given their lives, or have been maimed

whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.

 It is vain for you to rise up early, To
sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.

 Behold, children are a heritage from the
Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.

 Happy is the man who has his quiver full
of them; They shall not be ashamed, But
shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
