What does it mean to stand fast in liberty?

Answered in 1 source

Standing fast in liberty means to remain firm in the freedom Christ has secured for us, resisting the temptation to return to legalism.

To stand fast in liberty, as Paul instructs in Galatians 5:1, is to hold firmly to the freedom that Christ provides and not to be entangled once again in the yoke of bondage from the law. This means that Christians are called to recognize their complete dependence on Christ for salvation and to resist any influences that would draw them back into a performance-based faith or legalistic practices. Standing fast involves being vigilant against teachings that undermine this freedom and remaining steadfast in the truth of the Gospel, which celebrates the sufficiency of Christ's work for our redemption.
