What is Liberty in Christ?

Liberty in Christ is freedom in Christ. This means that we are set free from the bondage of sin because we choose to walk in the holiness of God.

Our freedom is connected to the spiritual goodness that we produce, the fear of the Lord, and the walk of faith. Out of these comes our good works and the clear evidence of our righteousness.

We also have liberty in Christ because before we had faith through Christ, atonement for sins had to be made every year.

Remember, lambs, bulls, and goats had to be killed on alters to cover our sins.

Jesus Christ became a perfect lamb for us once and for all and He provided us the circumcision of the heart.

This is why God sent Jesus to die for us to wash away our sins permanently as we repent and believe. This gives us the right to become heirs of the Lord’s promise.

So, liberty, or freedom in Christ, is not an excuse to sin nor treat the Lord’s sacrifice carelessly, but to be serious and diligent in keeping the commandments of God since we no longer are bound to yearly sacrifices by the blood of bulls and goats. We simply stay in the circumcision of Christ and not in bondage to the worldly desires of our flesh.

That’s true liberty.

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein , he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ~James 1:25 KJV
