NASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Every year, Americans enjoy a long weekend in honor of President’s Day, but did you know that the holiday wasn’t always about celebrating all U.S. presidents? It began as a tribute to just one man: George Washington.

But as followers of Christ, what is a proper Christian perspective on President’s Day? Does it hold any Biblical significance?

While President’s Day is not a Christian holiday, it does serve an essential purpose. On this day, we reflect on American history, particularly the life of George Washington. Since it is Biblical to remember the past (Isaiah 46:9), President’s Day can serve as a decisive moment to honor America's foundations.

In 1971, President Richard Nixon officially declared President’s Day a holiday honoring all U.S. presidents. Some states still emphasize Washington, while others highlight Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is also in February. Today, President’s Day is a broader celebration of leadership, democracy, and national history. This evolution highlights how traditions shift over time, but the core theme—remembering significant leaders—remains unchanged.

As we reflect on the history of President’s Day, we can celebrate freedom and democracy, intercede for our current leaders, and pray for those who don’t have these same privileges.

Here are some Bible verses to reflect on this President’s Day weekend, 2025.

Bible Verses About Freedom

Freedom is a calling from God
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. (Galatians 5:13)

Freedom from sin and legalistic bondage
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1)

The Reward of True Freedom
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. (Romans 6:22)

Liberation of Creation
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. (Romans 8:20-21)

God's Mission to Bring Freedom
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners (Isaiah 61:1)

Bible Verses About Remembrance

God Remembers His Covenant
It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:14-16)

Teaching Future Generations
In the future, when your son asks you, “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?” 21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great and terrible—on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors. (Deuteronomy 6:20-23)

God’s Mercy and Faithfulness
“He has given help to Israel His servant,
In remembrance of His mercy,
As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and his descendants forever.” (Luke 1:54-55)

Memorials of God’s Power
And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken out of the Jordan. 21 He said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea[b] when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over. 24 He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.” (Joshua 4:20-24)

The Biblical Theme of Remembrance
Remember the days of old;
consider the generations long past.
Ask your father and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will explain to you.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,
he set up boundaries for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel. (Deuteronomy 32:7-9)
