Scriptures that help us breathe

I like to think of certain verses in Scripture as those that help us breathe. By that I mean they encourage true freedom. They liberate! I suggest that all who wish to be free—truly free from bondage traps and legalistic prisons—read these verses again and again and again. I would suggest you type them on three–by–five cards and tape them to your bathroom mirror. Read them aloud each morning. They will help awaken grace within you on a daily basis. Here are a few that I often quote and claim:
It was for freedom that Christ set us free. (Galatians 5:1)
For he who has died is freed from sin. (Romans 6:7)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free. (Romans 8:2)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? (Romans 8:31–32)
So if the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)
