Christ very clearly teaches that the liberty of His disciples is a liberty from sin not to sin. Psalm 1 contains a believing celebration of the blessings of the law. What then are we to make of verses such as, ‘serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter,' (Rom. 7:6) and, ‘if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law,' (Gal. 4:18) and, ‘You are not under the law but under grace' (Rom. 6:14)? A biblical understanding of Christian Liberty must properly understand and apply the truth that we have been set free from the law. We have not been set free from obedience or from moral absolutes or from sanctification, so what exactly does the scripture mean when it speaks of this aspect of liberty? We will look at this doctrine under four headings: 1) Freedom from the law as a covenant, 2) Freedom from the curses of the law, 3) Freedom from the accusations of the law, and 4) Freedom from the rigor of the law. This follows the outline found in Samuel Bolton's The true bounds of Christian freedom. Our liberty in Christ is an amazing liberty when we consider the bondage and the curse and the condemnation and the death from which we have been set free.
