The Bible teaches that true freedom is found in knowing Jesus Christ and being freed from the bondage of sin through Him.
In John 8:32, Jesus states, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." True freedom is not about autonomy or living without constraints; it's about liberation from sin's bondage. The scriptures indicate that the more we attempt to live freely according to our desires without accountability, the more we become enslaved to sin. Our sinful nature drives us into bondage, and only Christ can truly set us free, as expressed in Galatians 5:1, where we are commanded to stand firm in the liberty provided by Christ.
