Law, Liberty, License, and Love

Every Fourth of July churches across America extol our political and spiritual freedom. Here is a brief summary of the freedom we have in Christ.

  1. Law: the purpose of the law is to show us our sin and need for a Savior.
  2. Liberty: once a person trusts Christ as Savior they are set free from the law and its obligations.
  3. License: our freedom is not for the purpose of self-indulgence.
  4. Love: God sets us free so we can serve others in love.

"Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith" Galatians 3:24

"For you, brethren, have been called to liberty, only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another" Galations 5:13

Let freedom ring!
