Closing Thoughts on Independence
While addressing biblical freedom, teach children to delight in depending on God. That represents wisdom, not weakness. Show them that Jesus sets us free for a purpose—to love, serve, and obey. Equip kids to resist the cultural message that independence means “I don’t need anyone.” We always need Jesus!
When kids grasp this, they can be confident, humble, joyful Christians. They’ll understand that freedom in Christ is the very best kind of life.
