The Perfect Law of Liberty: The child of God is free. He has been delivered from every aspect of the Law as a rule of life, as an obligation to make himself acceptable to God and as a dependence on the impotent flesh.
Likewise, he has been delivered from ideals and conventionalities of
the world. He is as free in himself as though he had already passed on
into heaven. He has been brought into the priceless liberty of grace.
Against the spoiling of this liberty the Christian is to contend: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage" (Galatians 5:1). The actual experience of contending for the preservation of liberty which is in Christ Jesus is foreign to the great mass of nominal Christians.
Pressing in on every hand are the false teachings of a law-ridden church, the fleshly ideals of the world and its god, the natural rationalism of the human mind and the everpresent tendency to depend on self.
Against all this, the fact of true liberty in Christ is little known. It is therefore important that the scope and character of Christian liberty be defined, and in so doing, no aspect of liberty is in view other than the liberty which belongs to the child of God under grace.
"The state of being exempt form the dominion of others, or from restricting circumstances." It is freedom to do according to one’s own preference and choice. It is emancipation. The thought of necessity and servitude is of the Law. Grace glories in liberty and freedom."
Is it not imperative that the children of God should be placed within the bounds of reasonable law? Absolutely No! The Christian’s liberty to do precisely as he or she chooses is as limitless and perfect as any other aspect of grace. But God has provided a sufficient safeguard which consists in the fact that the divine ideal is first wrought in the heart: "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13).
