“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” — Galatians 5:1 (KJV)
Midweek is a fitting moment to remember that the Christian life is not about striving to earn God’s favor, but about resting in the finished work of Christ. The redeemed soul is not under the law as a covenant of works but walks in the freedom of grace — not license, but liberty rooted in love for God and His commandments.
As the Puritans well understood, true liberty is not freedom from God but freedom in God. John Bunyan’s pilgrim pressed on through the Valley of Humiliation not because he had to earn his way, but because he had already been freed from his burden at the cross. Walk in that freedom today, resisting both the chains of legalism and the ditch of antinomianism.
