Law Of Freedom

12 So speak, and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of freedom.13 For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

James 2:12-13

Christians ought to remember that they are under the law of freedom. Believers have the awesome privilege of living for Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. They are “free” to serve others, to love others, and to give their lives away for Jesus.

Christ has paid our debt, paid the price for our sins, and have justified us through His work on the cross and His resurrection. As a result, God’s people now live for Christ and not themselves. Christians will be judged not for their salvation. Rather, they will be adjudicated for how they lived their lives before the Lord their Savior.

As the Redeemed, we have received mercy through Jesus Christ. The life and sacrifice of Christ means that Jesus was judged on our behalf. Let us go forth and give mercy to the lost because we have received grace from the Lord!

  1. Christians are to live under Gods Law.

    Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37- 39

    There is no other law.

    Thankfully that is written in Canadian Law as the supreme law.
