"Christ has set us free to enjoy our freedom. So remain strong in the faith. Don't let the chains of slavery hold you again." (Galatians 5:1)

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul reiterated that believers have freedom because of their rebirth through the Savior's work of salvation — a free gift of God's grace. Therefore, do not take on again the chains of law and self-works as means of acceptance before God. 

Jesus said, "You will know the truth. And the truth will set you free." (John 8:32). Jesus is the the truth. (John 14:6) Abide in Him, beloved, and enjoy freedom purchased by His blood.

"[God] is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins." (Ephesians 1:7)
