What is the perfect law of liberty in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

The perfect law of liberty refers to living according to Christ’s commands, characterized by genuine love and freedom from sin.

The perfect law of liberty is a concept presented in the teachings of James, which signifies that believers are called to live by the commands of Christ, motivated by love rather than a legalistic adherence to rules. This law is termed ‘liberty’ because it frees believers from the bondage of sin and enables them to genuinely love and serve others, as seen in the royal law of loving one’s neighbor. Faith in Christ cultivates this freedom and empowers believers to meet the high calling of the law, living in a manner that reflects God’s character and grace.
