In Lesson 6 of this 13 part series, we learn about The Law of Liberty. Biblical Christianity is not a life of bondage, but one of liberty. To exercise Christian liberty means to break free from sin’s bondage, which means to obey and serve God. The death of Jesus Christ was a substitution for our own punishment; therefore, the Law has no power to condemn the believer. We are also free from the attempt to fulfill the Law by human effort alone. We have the liberty of individual judgment; meaning that we have the freedom to follow our own conscience in morally neutral areas such as eating of meat and observance of certain days. Rather than judging others in these personal areas, we are to be true to our own convictions. However, The Christian should abstain from things detrimental to him physically, mentally, or spiritually. He should lay aside every “weight” (or hindrance), as well as outright sin (Hebrews 12:1). The Christian should avoid anything that will gain dominance in his life (I Corinthians 6:12). When Christ sets you free, He sets you free from the bondage of sin. Some seem to erroneously believe that this freedom means they no longer have to be responsible for their actions. Because we have been set free by Christ, we no longer have to work in order to secure God’s approval and acceptance. We are accepted by God through the work of Jesus Christ. This is through His death, burial and resurrection. So let us use The Law of Liberty to love one another. Love is serving one another. Love causes us to be concerned with what others think about us, because we understand that every person we meet is a soul that Christ died for.
