TRUE LIBERTY
As true Americans celebrate their liberty, true Chris-
tians should rejoice in the even greater liberty which they
have in Christ.
Our Lord said: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free" and "If the Son, therefore, shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John 8:32,36). Likewise
St. Paul declares that believers in Christ have been made
"free from sin" and have become "servants to God," who
deals with us in grace (Rom. 6:22).
It is strange that so many sincere religious people ac-
tually wish to be in bondage to the Mosaic Law, which can
only judge and condemn them for their sins. Peter called
the law: "a yoke...which neither our fathers nor we were
able to bear" (Acts 15:10). Paul called it "the handwriting of
decrees, that was against us, which was contrary to us" (Col.
2:14). He called it "the ministration of death" and "the min-
istration of condemnation" (II Cor. 3:7,9).
He challenged those who "desired" to be under the law:
"Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear
the law?" (Gal. 4:21).
"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written. Cursed is every one that CONTINUETH not in ALL things which are written in the book of the law, to do them" (Gal. 3:10).
Thank God, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of
the law, being made a curse for us" (Gal. 3:13). Man always
responds better to grace than to law. The law was "added
because of transgressions" (Gal. 3:19). "By the law is the
knowledge of sin" (Rom. 3:20). But Christ died for our sins
and now true believers serve God from gratitude and love.
Hence Rom. 6:14 says: "Sin shall not have dominion over
you, for ye are not under the law but under grace." Since
Christ has redeemed us from the law (Gal. 4:5) God says to
every true believer:
"Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage" (Gal.5:1).
