Perfect Law Gives Freedom

James 1:25 (NIV) - "But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does." The perfect law does not restrict and bind you but it liberates you. It is meant to show us who we truly are and move us into actions that bring about the manifestation of God's Kingdom. In the same way that traffic laws are not meant to restrict our driving as much as protect and keep order so that we can be safe - God's perfect law frees us to live and act in a way that is for everyone's good and protection. This same verse in The Message reads this way: "But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God—the free life!—even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action. That person will find delight and affirmation in the action." Check out God's perfect law and in freedom, take action and live by it!
