Christian freedom - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1

Christian freedom
Christ has led all who believe in Him into a wonderful freedom. As those who have been redeemed, we are free from the yoke of the law to obey the Lord out of love.

Unfortunately, not all Christians live in this freedom. Some think they must adhere to this or that, or else they will be lost again. But this contradicts the teaching of the Word of God. Especially in the letter to the Galatians, the Apostle Paul counters this misconception. He defends Christian freedom and urges us to hold onto it firmly.

1. Believers are freed from the law as the basis of their justification before God: “A man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ” (Galatians 2:16). It is not keeping God’s commandments that makes us righteous before God, but our faith in the Redeemer: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).

2. Those who are redeemed are freed from the law as the basis of their relationship with God: “to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:5). We can never become children and sons of God by following the law. We enter into this relationship with Him only through faith in the work of the Lord Jesus on the cross. Now, we know God as our Father.
