Real slavery is living your life trying to gain favor; real freedom is knowing you already have favor—the difference is huge. The gospel frees us to work and live from the secure basis of faith, not fear. We obey from the secure basis of grace, not guilt. And nothing could be more liberating. It means we’re no longer enslaved to the arbitrary rules and regulations imposed on us by society, by religious people, and by ourselves. “For freedom Christ has set us free,” Paul says; “stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery” (Gal. 5:1).
