Video – The Price of Freedom | Let Freedom Ring
After a thousand years have ended, the city of God will descend to earth, and God will call the wicked to rise from their graves. Then, Satan will be released from his prison and go out to deceive the nations, to gather them together to battle. Refusing to accept defeat to the war he began in heaven, Satan will put forth one last effort to rally together those who reflect his character and besiege the city.
However, upon reaching the outskirts, the glory of God, which is beyond human comprehension, will illuminate the earth with his character of love, and those who are at odds with it will be unable to escape the guilt of their treasured sins. Therefore, every knee will bow, and every ton will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. However, the wicked’s characters will remain unchanged, and in their hearts they will say, we do not want him to be our king.
They would rather welcome death. So, in an act of mercy, the devil, death, hell, and whosoever was not found written in the book of life, will be cast into the lake of fire and burn until all is consumed. But, when the smoke settles and the flames cease, John the Revelator saw a new heaven and a new earth, free from sin and its fruits, just as God intended.
The Bible says, there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. Behold, says God, I will make all things new. No longer will flowers fade, loved ones get sick, people lie and scam for a living, nor will children grow up in broken homes.
From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, will declare that God is love. And finally, freedom will ring throughout eternity, never to be silenced again.
Let Freedom Ring
Verse 1
Deep within the heart has always known that there is freedom.
Somehow breathed into the very soul of light.
The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it.
There's something that keeps reaching for the sky!
And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom,
And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme.
Some have walked through fire and flood to find the place of freedom,
And some face hell itself for freedom's dream.
Chorus
Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains.
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain.
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key.
We can be free and we can sing Let freedom ring!
Verse 2
God built freedom into every fiber of creation,
And He meant for us to all be free and whole.
Oh, but when My Lord bought freedom through the blood of His redemption,
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul!
I'll sing it out with every breath!
I'll let the whole world hear it!
This Hallelujah echo of the free!
That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive!
The Son has made us free and free indeed!
2nd Chorus
Let freedom ring down through the ages from the hill called Calvary!
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain.
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key.
You can be free and you can sing Let freedom ring!
Ending
You can be free and you can sing Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring!
In the beginning, Adam and Eve had chosen slavery, and remorsefully, their freedom was handed over to Satan, as sin along with its fruits were permitted to reign on earth. Yet, ever since then, Jesus has not ceased in his labor to buy back our freedom, and not an ounce of heaven’s resources were spared to do so, not even at the cost of His own life. He placed the highest value on acquiring your freedom.
The question is, what value will you place on it?
