It is sad that Christians put themselves back into bondage.
It was the American patriot Patrick Henry who said, "Give me liberty or give me death". He knew what it was like to live under the thumb of a tyrant. Along the way, he had the good fortune to get a small taste of liberty.
IN THE SAME SENSE, THE LAW SERVES AS A TYRANT. It shows no mercy and hates anything related to freedom. Anyone who weds himself to the law will be entangled in the chains of bondage. WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE for the Christian believer? LIBERTY IN CHRIST.
Why?
1. Because Christ has freed the believer v1
2. Because the law is not God's way for a man to be justified. v 2-4
IF A PERSON SEEKS TO BE JUSTIFIED BY LAW, CHRIST CAN HAVE NO EFFECT UPON HIM -- HE IS FALLEN FROM GRACE.
3. Because the hope of righteousness is by faith. v 5-6
The Outline & Study Bible
Patrick Henry's words are the words of a Christian also.
Laura, You are welcome to that opinion, but the Bible says the 7th day; Sabbath; Saturday. Period. If changing God’s commandment to whatever day you prefer doesn’t bother you, that’s up to you, and your business. But don’t say it doesn’t matter to me. Izzy
