Complete Liberty Through Christ


So speak and so act as [people should] who are to be judged under the law of liberty [the moral instruction given by Christ, especially about love]. James 2:12

Through the power of Christ, greatness has been freely bestowed on us. Our Father has placed His laws on our hearts and in our minds, and He remembers our sins no more. We have been freely given the mind of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and God’s Laws are now on our minds and they are in our hearts, you see where I am going? Our Father tells us that He remembers our sins no more. This is His New Testament Law of Liberty, this is why Jesus came and allowed Himself to be offered on the Cross! We are now under the Law of Grace, which means we have gained favor with God, apart from any of our own works. Our righteousness is based on Jesus’ works, not on our keeping ordinances and commandments. The Law of Liberty proclaims that Jesus has paid the price in full; this is what our Father has placed in our hearts and in our minds, the Law of Liberty through Jesus Christ, which is Grace! The Law of Love, which encompasses every other commandment, has been placed permanently in our hearts by God Himself.

Our Father has also enacted the Law of Forgiveness under the New Covenant, and that Law is now in our hearts and on our minds as well. The Law of Forgiveness governs our Father, it is His desire, and it is Jesus’ desire; think of the price that He paid to obtain us. Remember how David wrote that blessed is the man whom God never counts his sin against him, Romans 4:7? Well that is you and I in Christ! This is now in our minds, this is in our hearts, it has been born into us, it’s part of our Godly DNA. It may not be mature in all of us, but it’s in every saved person, and faith, or maturity, comes from hearing the Word. We should be as our Father is in this world and if He doesn’t remember our sin, than we shouldn’t remember our sin. As far as the East is from the West, so far should our sins be removed into the sea of forgetfulness! The Law of Grace, that is now within us, allows us to freely forgive all others their sins as well.

The Law on our mind and in our hearts tells us that we are sanctified wholly only because of Jesus. The Law of Liberty tells us that Jesus preserves our whole spirit, soul, and body blameless until the day He returns, 1 Thessalonians 5:23. The Law of Liberty on our minds proclaims that we now have boldness and access to the holiest through the Blood of Christ, 1 John 5:14! The Law in our hearts cries out that we have been washed in pure water and that our evil consciences are done away with and we have full assurance of this because Jesus is faithful to do it, Hebrews 10:22! The Law within us teaches that we are sanctified and when any human or devil tries to bring condemnation on us, the Law of Liberty in Christ Jesus decrees that there is now no condemnation for us, Romans 8:1. Grace has won and we know that we can boldly enter the Holiest God has, because Jesus has given us free access to it. And not only do we have access to our Father's Holiest, which is great in and of itself, we also know that we can boldly enter the Holiest because our Father wants us to. God wants us to be in the Holiest with Him. How awesome is that?
