James 1:21-27 – What is the law of liberty?

First, think about the word “law.”

I Corinthians 9:20-21 – the law of Christ

Galatians 6:2 – the law of Christ

Law cannot be contradictory to Christ because both are mentioned together.

Second, think about the word “liberty.”

Galatians 2:3-5 – liberty from the law of Moses

Galatians 5:1

II Peter 2:18-19

John 8:31-33 – freedom from sin

Romans 6:20

So, what does “law of liberty” mean in James?

James 1:21-25

The law of liberty is the New Testament.

“Liberty” is in regard to sin. Through Jesus, we gain freedom from sin.

James 2:8-13 – The royal law is the law of King Jesus.

What does all of this mean for us?
