THE SHIELD XVI 🛡️ Laws of Liberty Part 1

Last time we looked at FREEDOM, its definitions and how that it is one of the great assurances of our salvation. There is absolute freedom in God. In fact, where God is, there freedom exists.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV

The Bible shows us in the New Testament that God has put spiritual laws in place for our freedom.

If you function in or by these laws, you experience the kind of liberty that only exists in Christ.

In fact, this is what all of creation longs for.

Have a look at this:

Romans 8:19-21 NKJV

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 

because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

The Glorious Liberty.

That's what He calls it. It belongs to us in Christ. It is the life Jesus delivered over to us. A life more abundant. Eternal life.

Let's consider the laws of this liberty.

The beautiful thing about a law is that it always works. It is fixed. For example, you will never wake up one morning and find yourself floating around your room because the law of gravity suddenly stopped working.

Today I will name them and reference them.

Next time we will start going deeper into each.

The Laws of This Liberty

 1. The Perfect Law of Liberty 
James 1:25

 2. The Law of the Spirit of Life
Romans 8:2

 3. The Law of Faith
Romans 3:27

 4. The Law of Christ 
Galatians 6:2

In addition, we could consider the Love Commandment (John 15:12) or the New Creation Rule (Galatians 6:15-16), but for our discourse here we will only discuss the above-mentioned laws.

Our emphasis is on liberty/freedom.

The great news is that the Lord Jesus has given us the Holy Spirit, Who leads us into all truth. When this Holy Spirit lives in you, His anointing teaches you how to abide in this liberty.

Glory be to God!

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 1 John 2:26-27 KJV.

From next week we'll begin to look at the laws individually.

Thanks for reading. May His light shine upon your goings out and comings in.

If this blessed you, please pass it on.

In Christ,

Dawid
