Apr 14, 2023 · In Christ, we are free from the Law’s oppressive system, we are free from the penalty of sin, and we are free from the power of sin. Christian freedom is not a license to sin.

Mar 20, 2022 · Then, a third and final warning in Galatians 5:4: “You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.” “Grace” here, as with doing in verse 3, gets at the underlying issue.

Jesus wants to increase your capacity to love, to have joy, to experience peace, and to enjoy life. He also wants to increase your capacity to have a relati...
In the dictionary, freedom is defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think without hindrance or restraint. It further describes it as liberation from slavery or from the power of another. That definition completely wraps up everything Christ has done for us. There is only one thing left for you to do. Live free. Here’s what Paul says in Ga...
