What does the Bible say about living free in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that believers are free from the law and its ordinances due to their union with Christ, who died for their sins.
In Colossians 3:1-2, Paul explicates the freedom believers have in Christ, emphasizing that they are not bound by the law. Believers are completed in Christ and are dead to sin and its consequences (Romans 6:6). By being dead with Christ, they are no longer subject to the world's religion or its dictates. The law is considered good, but adhering to it as a means of living ultimately leads to death. Instead, Christians are called to seek those things that are above, where Christ is seated, indicating a shift in focus from earthly to spiritual pursuits. This freedom is rooted in the complete work of Christ on the cross.
