What Makes Freedom Worth Dying For?

    Recently, I heard a young man in my neighborhood say these words as he was talking to one of his friends I listened as  he said these words, "I just don't get it,  Why do people think freedom,  is so great? What's the big deal about freedom and what makes freedom worth going to war and fighting for? People get killed in wars. What makes freedom so worth dying for? I thought for a moment and my love of history brought back the noble words of Patrick Henry,who said,  "Give me liberty or give me death." As I pondered that young man's question I too wondered why the patriots of the American Revolution were so willing to die  for the cause  of freedom and after some careful thought, I believe I know the answer.
    The constitution guarantees all Americans,the right of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The concept of human  freedom is an immortal inspiration from God.The Bible says, in Genesis that God, made man in his own image. I thought about what that really means, it's simple really, God, gave man a free will.God gave man the very essence of himself. Remember,  before the fall of man in the garden  man was created by God and designed to live eternally. Man, chose to disobey God and as a result man's mortal body will experience physical death thus God, through  the death of his son Jesus Christ came to earth to die on the cross to pay the price for sin and take away the power of death Now all who receive  Christ, will live eternally in Heaven and those who don't will still live eternally in Hell separated  from God,  What has this lesson in Christian Theology, have to do with the concept of freedom as it relates to the American Revolution  you ask? I'll tell you.
    America, was built on Christian,  principals and freedom, as I said, is a concept conceived in the mind of God, Therefore, when God,  breathed  into man's nostrils the first breath of life man became an eternal living soul with a natural desire to be  free to exercise his free will.What patriots of the American Revolution like Patrick Henry, understood. was this,  the cause of freedom,  was was the very  essence of God himself. Therefore,  the concept of freedom was eternal. What Patrick Henry was really saying was this If a man can not live freely then  the true essence of all that an individual truly is is not really alive. Therefore Patrick Henry decided, if he could not live freely then he would die fighting for freedom since he knew that if he died fighting for the noble cause of American freedom he then would live freely forever in Heaven with God who is the author of freedom since the beginning of human existence. Americans, exercise there free will everyday. Think about it. Why does one choose to own a home instead of renting if owning the home is possible? The answer is simple ownership gives one the right to exercise ones freewill and do  with the home what ever one desires. Life without freedom,  is no life at all in fact,  in one since if one can not live free one is already dead. Freedom is a  concept,  inspired from the very essence of God.and since man,  was created in God's image, freedom is the very essence of man. The patriots of the American Revolution, knew this and that is why freedom, is worth dying for. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
