LAW OR FREEDOM OR LAW AND FREEDOM

LAW OR FREEDOM OR LAW AND FREEDOM
For those who want to be set free from all law, consider what you are missing.

Following the Royal Law (Ja. 2:8) allows us to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we have this kind of love, we fulfill the moral law of God (Ga. 5:14).

Keeping the Law of Liberty enables us to do the work of God and brings us God's blessing (Ja. 1:25).

Submitting to the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus sets us free from the law of sin and death (sinful nature), and gives us freedom to do the will of God (Ja. 2:12)

However, no one is set free from all law. We are either servants to the law of sin and death, or we are love slaves to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. It is our choice.

(12)  So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
