One of our “in Christ” blessings that can be easily overlooked is our freedom. When we think about freedom, we tend to think about our freedom to worship without the threat of interference or persecution. While that is a great freedom in this country it is not a blessing promised to Christians in Scripture. The freedom that passages such as Galatians 5:1 and Romans 8:2 is offering is freedom from the Law. So, in this lesson we want to explore how is freedom from the law a blessing.
ROMANS 8:1-4
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”
