This question has been answered in many ways by many people. True Christian liberty is rarely exercised. The reason for this is that man has put his definition onto it and thus he thinks that he exercises it in his dealings with fellow Christians. If the basis or premise is wrong, then the perception or understanding is also wrong. If the perception is wrong then actions and conduct based on that perception will likewise be faulty.
Many translations substitute the word freedom in place of liberty .
Jesus made two important statements in regard to freedom. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free . Yes, Jesus and his teaching have set us free indeed. The Jews that believed on Jesus were freed from the bondage of the Law . Though this is true there is always the danger of allowing oneself to be drawn in again to another kind of bondage.
