What does it mean to be set free by Christ?

To be set free by Christ encompasses freedom from the guilt and condemnation of our sins, as well as from the control of sin over our lives. In John 8:36, Jesus attests that true freedom comes through Him. This freedom is not just a license to sin but an invitation into life transformed by grace. It allows believers to live righteously, as they are no longer enslaved to sin. Romans 6:14 invites us to recognize that we are under grace now, empowering us to pursue holiness and to enjoy communion with our Savior who sets us free completely.
