THE LAW OF LIBERTY! THIS IS YOUR FREEDOM…
The law of liberty is not a set of rules or regulations, rituals, or ceremonies. James, who is Jewish and now Born Again, reminds dispersed Christians they are NOT under the previous Law of “Do Right” and “God will Bless You”.
But NOW! They are under the FREEDOM that Jesus Christ has walked them right IN through faith. Apostle James brings to the forefront of their very thinking that because of THIS FREEDOM, God the Father sustains you, keeps you, matures you, protects you, carries you, empowers you, and blesses you!
In this Freedom given By Jesus Christ IN His life, you are not to forget you are created and made a new creation in Christ when you consider God and His people. What are you to remember?
That IN Jesus Christ you ARE:
The Family of God Romans 8:14
The Possession of God 1 Peter 2:9
The Temple of God 1 Corinthians 3:16
The Glory of God Colossians 1:23
The law of liberty is the fundamental principle (authoritative Word of God) and godly standard (quality) that transcends from the Old Testament into the New Testament because they are God’s Character! His principle is like Him, Righteous and Holy! God measures and judges “GOODNESS” “Righteous” and “HOLY” by Himself!
You are Free to Worship God with all your heart, mind, soul, and your strength, and Trust Him for your keeping because He is YOUR Father IN Jesus Christ!
You are Free to Love your neighbor as yourself (the self, the worthy person Jesus died for) and be dependent on God to supply your every need even when “neighbors” do not in return.
Freedom in the fundamental principles of God is that you are empowered by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you to Freely Serve God in the Life of Jesus Christ! And Blessings Come from God Himself in the obedience of The Way to live like God, reflecting Him in moral actions and deeds of your life.
You don’t have to manipulate God to Bless you! In the life of Jesus Christ given, you have access to every spiritual blessing through obedience! Apostle James tells us to “look into the law of liberty” and “Continue” in it, be “Doers” of it!
What does Jesus teach and demonstrate to us in the Word of God, concerning our reasonable service of Worship?, How to treat people? How to meet the needs of others? How to endure in the sacrifice of self for the “will of God”? Look into The Word, find the answer, Continue in the principles of God in your mind and exercise them in your life…That is what you are Judged by, Your Obedience of Christ’s reflection of God, IN Christ! It’s called Freedom! It’s called Rewards!
James 2:12 (AMP) Speak and act [consistently] as people who are going to be judged by the law of liberty [that moral law that frees obedient Christians from the bondage of sin].
