Must we really fight for freedom?

The antagonist in the movie The Avengers claims that we in America don't know what freedom is. He goes about "granting" this freedom to people at will. What, then, is freedom? If we have to fight for freedom, is it really freedom? Aren't we enslaved to the idea of having to always fight for and demand our freedom? Shouldn't TRUE freedom be something that allows us to live our life without having to even think about our freedom? It's kind of like the most perfect weather day. It is a day that you can't feel the weather or worry about the weather or have to guess about the weather. It's simply a day in which the weather will not alter your plans or your freedom to do what you want. Freedom in the United States is truly something worth fighting for on this earth, because it's the greatest freedom there is on this earth. There may be other governments in the past or in the future that have offered or will offer more freedom than America, but it'll be hard to match it. Yet, the only TRUE freedom that can come our way is the one that we can do nothing about. If we were truly in charge of our own freedom, how free can it actually be? As imperfect human beings, we have as much opportunity to mess it up as we do maintain it. We need someone greater than us to come up with the idea and to get it done for us. We need someone to keep it for us. We need someone that will FIGHT for us. No, I'm sorry, it's not the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, or the Hall of Justice. Rather, it is God, through His Son Jesus Christ (Galatians 5:1), and His Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17), who grants TRUE freedom. Yes, even in the midst of governmental rule (good and bad) the only way to live is in God's freedom (I Peter 2:13-17). There is nothing that can alter our joy or our safety or our . . . well . . . freedom because Christ already paid the debt that kept me bound to a life full of wrong and selfishness and hurt. So I have NO weight left on my back, nothing left for me to fight for, and only one person left so serve - God Himself. Inviting Jesus, every day, to fight our battles and be near us is the only way to live a life of freedom. May we trust Him fully.
