The Patriot and Freedom

I was watching the movie "the Patriot" earlier and one line really struck me.  For those of you who may not have seen it, Mel Gibson plays the head of a militia during the American Revolution.  A few of the militia members are talking and one of them turns to a black slave who was fighting to gain his freedom and says, "What the hell would you do with freedom?"
It really makes you wonder, What do you do with your freedom?k  The bible says we are made alive through Christ and that he paid the penalty for our sins.  We as Christians were dead to sins - we were slaves to our old lives and Christ paid the price to set us free.  Rather than let us live a life of slavery, God sent his son, Jesus to pay the full penalty for our sins.  Christ fought for us and won our freedom through his death on the cross.  He died so that we would be able to live as freed slaves.  While I know the situation is vastly different, the idea holds.  Our slavery to sin makes us deserving of death.  We as a species were committing treason against our God and deserved a traitor's death but Christ paid that for us.  We have freedom!  It's as simple as putting our faith and trust in Christ.  The question now is this?  What will you do with your freedom?
At times it's simple to simply turn around and live our lives and be happy with the fact that we have freedom.  We fall into a place where we are comfortable with our lives.  Everything is dandy and peachy.  HOWEVER I firmly believe that God calls us to arms every second of every day.  The fight isn't over.  It never will be.  Now we have to fight for Christ!  I'm not saying we literally  go to battle.  Each person has their own unique calling.  Some of us are called directly to the battlefront to fight as missionaries for Christ.  Some are called to be leaders and guides for our brothers and sisters who fight with us.  Some are called simply to pray and others are called to fire their two shots and give themselves as martyrs to be sacrifices for God.  There are an almost infinite number of ways you can fight for Christ.    You just have to have the courage to try.  So I ask again - What will you do with your freedom?
