How does salvation involve both drawing and delivering us from the law?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation involves God drawing us with love and delivering us from the burdens of the law, as seen in Hosea 11:4 and Galatians 5:1.

In Hosea 11:4, God speaks of drawing His people with 'cords of a man' and also of removing the yoke from their jaws. This symbolizes God's compassionate engagement with His children, leading them away from the burdensome demands of the law to the freedom found in Christ. Galatians 5:1 emphasizes this further by urging believers to 'stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.' This means that part of the salvation experience is liberation from the rigid demands of legalism, which cannot save us. Instead, we are invited to embrace the grace that comes through faith in Christ, which brings true rest and freedom for our souls.
