That Song About Circumcision? Yep, This is It.
Hi friends, here's that song I was talking about recently... despite the weird references, it's a great theme. The important take away here is that we are now free in Christ: free from the laws that constrain and restrict our freedom won by Christ's death and resurrection.
This is important! I see a trend in many who try to live a type of Christianity that walks the line between the Old Testament law and the New Testament redemption. They willingly submit themselves to all kinds of rules on various topics, whether they be about the sabbath, about their diet, about God's "true-name," or some other law laid out in the Old Testament. It's easy to get caught up in it, but I don't believe it to be what Jesus wanted for us!
Christian freedom is one of the many paradoxes of the Christian faith. Christian freedom is not a license to sin. True freedom means willingly becoming a slave to Christ, and this happens through relationship with Him (Colossians 2:16–17).
Christianity seems like a heavy burden and yoke to many, but Jesus said, ‘for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
So live free!
