Being a Christian is often seen as restrictive, confining and constraining. It is really just the opposite: the ultimate in freedom. However, our new life in Christ only wants to do what pleases Him, and we are at perfect liberty to do so. Here is a list of ten positive aspects of the liberty which we now have in Christ: Liberty 1:
To see my sins as put away from God's sight and to understand that I am justified by the Judge Himself.
"king justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Roar. 3:24).
Liberty 2:
To know that God expects nothing of value from my old nature and that it was, in fact, condemned at the cross.
Liberty 3:
To recognize that my new position (standing) before God is in Christ.
Liberty 4:
To look away from myself and unto Christ, knowing that God finds all His delight in Him.
Liberty 5:
To regard myself as entirely connected with my new nature, the Holy Spirit providing the power to fill my heart with Christ.
Liberty 6:
To appreciate that God is my Father (no longer my Judge) and that He takes pleasure in blessing me.
Liberty 7:
To know that, since it is the Son who has made me free, I am completely and permanently free.
Liberty 8:
To look at the glory shining in the face of Jesus Christ and to be at home in that wonderful place of holiness and love.
Liberty 9:
To reckon that every blessing is through Christ by unmerited grace and that this will continue for eternity "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin lath reigned unto death, each so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 5:20-2120Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 5:20‑21)).
Liberty 10:
To serve the One who has delivered me: the Lord Himself.
