What does Paul mean by freedom and liberty in Christ? What way is freedom from law?
229 Well, you’re not bound by law. Say, for instance, here’s the same thing; I’ll explain in the natural way, quickly. For instance, out here it says, go down the street, thirty miles an hour is all the faster you can go. All right now. Now if I go down the street forty miles an hour, I’m condemned by the law. But if I go down the street just thirty miles an hour, I’m not under the law. See? That’s freedom in Christ (see?), the same thing.
230 You’re not bound by the law as long...If I don’t steal, lie, smoke, commit adultery, any of those things there, I’m not bound by no law. See? I’m free from the law; I’m in Christ.
