It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. -Galatians 5:1

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh ; rather, serve one another humbly in love. -Galatians 5:13

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. -Ephesians 3:12
