\u201c"Spreek en handel daarom zoals zij die geoordeeld zullen worden door de wet van de vrijheid."\u201d<\/em>
Jakobus 2:12<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

Ware christelijke vrijheid is geen vrijbrief om te doen wat we willen. De Schrift leert ons dat vrijheid verbonden is met een leven voor Christus en voor anderen. We vinden en genieten ervan wanneer we ons met Christus bezighouden.<\/p>

In ons vers van vandaag, Jakobus<\/span><\/span> spreekt over de \u201cwet van de vrijheid\u201d. Het idee achter het woord wet<\/em> Hier is sprake van een sturende kracht of een leidend principe in actie. Wat Jakobus zegt, is dat wij als christenen niet onder een wet van slavernij staan, maar onder de sturende macht van de vrijheid.<\/p>

De Wet van Mozes verplichtte de Jood zijn naaste lief te hebben, maar gaf hem niet de macht om dat te doen en veroordeelde hem als hij daarin faalde. Onder genade ontvangen wij echter de macht om onze naaste lief te hebben. De uitdrukking "zo spreken en zo doen" verwijst naar zowel woorden als daden \u2013 ons spreken en onze wandel \u2013 en die twee moeten in overeenstemming zijn. Wanneer ze niet overeenkomen, overtreden we de wet van de vrijheid en zullen we rekenschap moeten afleggen van dit falen voor de rechterstoel van Christus (1 Korinti\u00ebrs 3:14-15; 2 Korinti\u00ebrs 5:9-10). In Romeinen 14:10-13 schrijft de apostel Paulus de apostel<\/span><\/span> Het verbindt de rechterstoel van Christus met de wet van de vrijheid en gebruikt deze als motivatie en als herinnering om dit principe ons leven te laten leiden.<\/p>

Maar wat staat in de weg dat deze vrijheid zichtbaar wordt in ons individuele leven en in onze plaatselijke gemeenten? Jakobus verbindt de wet van de vrijheid met het Woord van God in Jakobus 1:21-27. Het Woord in praktijk brengen betekent het in ons hart ontvangen en het ons laten leiden in elk aspect van ons leven. Het Woord van God moet onze maatstaf zijn en een effectieve bescherming tegen de invloed van de wereld om ons heen.<\/p>

Het Woord van God verwaarlozen betekent dat we de wereld laten dicteren hoe we denken en ons gedragen. Maar wanneer we de volmaakte wet van de vrijheid bestuderen, ernaar leven en niet alleen toehoorders zijn, maar ook doeners, zullen we ware vrijheid ervaren.<\/p>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong>
Ware christelijke vrijheid is niet doen wat we zelf willen, maar het Woord van God ons leven laten leiden, zodat onze daden overeenkomen met onze woorden en we leven op een manier die Christus behaagt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
