Jesus Died to Set Me Free

Jesus died to set me free;
Jesus died on Calvary.
Not a blessing that I know
But to Jesus Christ I owe.

Through His blood I'm reconciled;
Of a foe am made a child.
For His foes the Saviour died;
Sinners now are justified.

Only sin to Him I brought,
Only love in Him I found—
Love that passes all my thought,
Love that doth to me abound.

'Twas for sinners that He died,
Title I have none beside;
Thus I know it was for me
Jesus died on Calvary.

—F.W. Grant

Liberty or Death?

Patrick Henry was the most eloquent orator in the cause of the American Revolution. He is remembered most for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death," which were spoken in 1775 before the Virginia Provincial Convention in regard to the Virginia colony arming itself against England.

In a spiritual sense, this is the choice every person has—being liberated from his sins by faith in Christ, or suffering eternal death by rejection of Christ's atoning work on Calvary's cross. Choose liberty!
