FREEDOM: Ezk 18:30-32.
30 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways,” says the Lord God. “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin. 31 Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”

Freedom from the tyranny of sin and its just consequence of punishment can only find independence on the day the red coat of sin is washed whiter than snow by the blood of Jesus Christ. Turning from your sin to Him who died in your place brings a new life - a new spirit and new heart. God does not want to see you die in your sin; He takes no pleasure in that. He wants so much for our independence from sin, death, and Hell that He gave up His life in exchange for life for us. This is true freedom! Romans 6:18-23
