# Freedom
## Ignatius Catholic Study Bible
**Freedom**
Call to repentance, which implies freedom to repent: [[matthew-04#^matthew-04-17|Mt 4:17]]; [[matthew-23#^matthew-23-37|23:37]]; [[john-01#^john-01-12|Jn 1:12-13]]; [[2-peter-03#^2-peter-03-9|2 Pet 3:9]]
Human freedom was damaged by sin but was redeemed by grace: [[john-08#^john-08-32|Jn 8:32]]; [[romans-06#^romans-06-18|Rom 6:18-23]]; [[romans-07#^romans-07-15|7:15-25]]; [[romans-08#^romans-08-2|8:2, 21]]; [[2-corinthians-03#^2-corinthians-03-17|2 Cor 3:17]]; [[galatians-05#^galatians-05-1|Gal 5:1, 13]]; [[1-peter-02#^1-peter-02-16|1 Pet 2:16]]
Power to obey and to choose: [[luke-06#^luke-06-46|Lk 6:46]]; [[john-14#^john-14-15|Jn 14:15]]; [[romans-02#^romans-02-9|Rom 2:9-10]]; [[galatians-05#^galatians-05-13|Gal 5:13]]; [[1-peter-02#^1-peter-02-16|1 Pet 2:16]]
Resistance to grace is possible: [[john-15#^john-15-1|Jn 15:1]]; [[acts-of-the-apostles-07#^acts-of-the-apostles-07-51|Acts 7:51]]; [[2-corinthians-06#^2-corinthians-06-1|2 Cor 6:1]]
