Colossians 2:20-23

 

Freedom from Rules and New Life in Christ

You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the evil powers of this world. So why do you keep on following rules of the world, such as, 21 "Don't handle, don't eat, don't touch." 22 Such rules are mere human teaching about things that are gone as soon as we use them. 23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, humility, and severe bodily discipline. But they have no effect when it comes to conquering a person's evil thoughts and desires. (NLT)

 

When you accept Christ’s death on the cross for your sins at that moment He sets you free. Free from your sin and from the evil powers of this world. No longer do you need to follow the way of the world for you now have a better way and you are free from the Old Testament law because Jesus is the fulfillment the law and of the promise. Jesus has set you free. Do not be bogged down with severe bodily discipline but devote yourself to the spiritual life and the spiritual battle we are in. Through Christ you can now conquer the evil thoughts and desires of the flesh and live for Him.

Jesus has set you free. You are now free to move about in Christ.
