The New King James translation says – "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." The New American Standard translation says: "It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." Both translations are helpful. It was for freedom that Christ set us free; we are brought into the liberty of the sons of God. Therefore we should stand fast in that liberty. This last statement shows us that it is possible for a true Christian to lose his liberty because some other person has taken it away from them. This is what I want to bring to your attention in this message. Let us consider together the liberty, the true and beautiful spiritual freedom that Christ has brought us into, and hopefully this will help us to be able to explain to many other people the intention of our Lord Jesus in His dying for our sins. 1st of all – We need to understand what the liberty is, which Paul is speaking of, here in verse 1. 2nd – We need to understand the spiritual uselessness of trusting in anything ceremonial to save.
