~ Jeremie 33:3 ~’”Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, of which you do know not”
(NKJV).

The ways of God are hidden and mysterious; they have never been crystal clear to man. Only a finite and mortal god can be fully known and understood by finite and mortal man. But who will worship a mortal god? By the same token, only an infinite and immortal mind can fathom the infinite and immortal God. But who among us has an infinite and immortal mind?

God offers and freely gives us many “Freedoms.”

We live in the United States, a nation among many ‘not-so-free’ nations. We in the U.S. are used to this kind of life style and desire it to be that way throughout the entire world ~ and someday (maybe sooner than we think) this world will have the opportunity to have that freedom __ in Christ: …

The God-given [Freedoms] that every citizen of the world can have here on earth are:…

~ Freedom from Spiritual ignorance and blindness …    (refer to: John 8:12, 47 & Matthew 13:16-17).

John 8:12:… “Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying: “I am the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”"

~ Freedom from the penalties of sin, eternal death and the Biblically- automatic penalties of this physical life …    (refer to: John 5:24-25; I Corinthians 15:54 & Hebrews 2:9).

John 5:24-25:… “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears My   word, and believes on Him that sent Me, shall have everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but  is passed from death unto life.”

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”
