Too many times we count freedom as an requirement instead of a blessing.
I was thinking about the ancient world, while pondering the Scriptures, trying to grasp the culture of that day. It occurred to me that I did not fully understand how blessed I am to be living in the USA.
I've heard preachers preach social freedom as a requirement for Christians, but the Scriptures do not say this. Even God's people Israel were slaves and oppressed.
I truly believe God wants us to be free but that part of liberation is up to us. It is His job to free us from death and Hell. If we truly believe what Jesus said then all forms of slavery will perish because Jesus put it in the perspective that we all have a Master in Heaven who is righteous and just. So don't jump to any conclusions before you watch my message. You will see how we must work for our social freedoms by prayer, example, and work.
If freedom came from god then how come he dont grant it to every country? And if freedom came from god then why doesnt he come down and smite those who take away certian freedoms?

Because God is not a puppet master. He allows us humans to be "human" therefore we humans screw things up a lot.
Jesus Christ offers us true freedom if we accept Him as our Lord. Jesus never promised us that life would be easy and free on earth. In the end Jesus will do away with oppression and slavery.
