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?
