What is the perfect law of liberty?
Have you ever considered what it would be like to go someplace where there were no laws, and no police officers to enforce those laws? To be totally free to do whatever you wanted, for as long as you wanted, and in any way that you wanted to do it?
Sounds pretty good doesn't it? If I don’t want to get up in the morning, I don’t have to. If I want to drive my car as fast as it will go, then I can.
This is pretty much what it was like for the early pioneers who opened up the western part of the United States. When they stepped out into that wilderness, they were free from the laws and those that would enforce it. They lived by their wits, their strength, and their courage, for even though there were no societal laws, there were always the laws of nature, and the laws of the strongest shall prevail.
So the question is, are you truly free when you step out of the boundaries of the laws of a civil society? Is this true liberty?
Without laws, is there such a thing as criminal behavior? To be a lawbreaker there must be a law to break.
God, as our Creator, knew that man needed laws to establish the absolute truths about right and wrong, so He gave us His Word that we call the Bible. It contains the Mosaic Law, The Sermon on the Mount, and it contains Christ’s Law, which is the perfect law of liberty. These laws identify what is sin for man. They let man know that he has broken those laws, that the penalty of that sin is death, and that man needs a Savior. The very Savior named Jesus Christ who died on a cross to pay the penalty for man’s sin.
As a believer we are no longer under the Mosaic Laws, but our behavior is to be controlled by two commandments.
The first is, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind. This is a believer’s responsibility to God.
The second is, To love thy neighbor as thyself. This is a believer’s responsibility to others.
How do we find perfect liberty? Listen to this podcast to learn that the answer is to be redeemed, released, and ruled by Christ.
