FREEDOM FROM PUNISHMENT
Freedom comes when you are forgiven and cleansed from all of your sins. God will make your heart pure and clean, and your sins "as white as snow." 8 When you are completely forgiven, and trust in Him, God erases the punishment for sin, which is death. 9 "Those who belong to Christ Jesus are no longer under God's sentence." 10 Jesus took the punishment we deserve for our sin. The cleansing we receive is shown by the color white.
FREEDOM TO EXPERIENCE NEW LIVE:
Freedom to live a life filled with purpose and true joy can be yours even in the midst of a troubled world. Now we can experience freedom from things that formerly enslaved us, like fear, lust, addiction, and pride. Through this freedom we can enjoy a life pleasing to God. Jesus told us that He not only came to give us life, but to give it more abundantly.11
