What Does it Mean to Have Freedom in Christ?

In America and the world today, we often associate the word freedom with personal liberty. You want the freedom to make your own decisions and live life as you choose.

The Biblical definition of freedom, especially freedom in Christ, is different.

Freedom in Christ means the ability to live as the person God created you to be.

Here are some of the ways that God gives you freedom:

Freedom from sin, death, and the power of the devil.
Freedom from addictions.
Freedom from chains that bind you.
Freedom from past hurts and sins.
Freedom from the yoke of slavery.
Freedom from oppression.
Freedom from debt and financial burdens.
Freedom from family curses and patterns of sin.
Freedom from slavery.
Freedom from captivity.

Focus on the Family explains it this way,

Jesus was not setting us free to do whatever we wanted; He was freeing us to do what we ought to do.
Focus on the Family, Freedom in Christ

Before you were a Christian, you were in bondage to sin. The Bible says you were a slave to sin. (John 8:34). By accepting Christ’s saving work on the cross as your way of salvation, you now have true freedom and are no longer in slavery.

Are You Living in Freedom?

You may have the freedom of Christ in your life yet continue to live as if you are enslaved.

Why? You may be holding on to selfish, sinful behaviors that keep you stuck. For years I lived with food obsession and compulsive overeating. This was a sinful behavior that needed God’s healing in my life.

Other times, we don’t understand how the freedom of Christ plays out in our lives. Freedom in Christ is a powerful yet challenging concept. We have to die to ourselves in order to be alive in Christ. We give up choices in order to have more freedom. Seems ironic, doesn’t it?
