We hebben gezien dat het verbonden is met leven voor Christus en voor anderen. Ik vind en geniet ervan wanneer ik bezig ben met Christus!<\/p><p>In onze Bijbeltekst van vandaag spreekt Jakobus over de \u201cwet van de vrijheid\u201d. De betekenis van het woord \u201cwet\u201d is hier \u201cde sturende kracht\u201d of \u201chet principe in werking\u201d. Jakobus zegt hiermee: \u2018Als christen sta je niet onder de wet van slavernij, maar onder de sturende kracht van de vrijheid.\u2019 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. Door de genade ontvangen wij echter de kracht om onze naaste lief te hebben.<\/p><p>De uitdrukking &quot;zo moet je spreken en zo moet je handelen&quot; verwijst naar onze woorden en daden, naar wat we zeggen en hoe we lopen. Beide moeten overeenkomen! Wanneer dat niet het geval is, overtreden we de wet van de vrijheid en zullen we rekenschap moeten afleggen van deze tekortkoming voor de rechterstoel van Christus (1 Korinti\u00ebrs 3:14-15; 2 Korinti\u00ebrs 5:9-10). In Romeinen 14:10-13 verbindt Paulus de rechterstoel van Christus met de wet van de vrijheid en gebruikt deze als zowel een motivatie als een herinnering om de wet van de vrijheid in ons leven te laten werken.<\/p><p>Maar wat staat ons in de weg om deze vrijheid te ervaren in ons eigen 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 Woord in ons hart bewaren en het als leidraad laten dienen in elk aspect van ons leven. Het Woord van God moet onze maatstaf zijn en een effectief middel om ons te beschermen tegen de invloed van de wereld om ons heen. Het Woord van God verwaarlozen betekent de wereld laten bepalen 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 genieten!<\/p><p><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong><br \/>Doordat de Heilige Geest de principes van Gods Woord in de harten van gelovigen toepast, worden zij bevrijd van de slavernij van de zonde en in staat gesteld God te gehoorzamen.<\/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":"<p>The Law of Liberty \u201cSo speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.\u201dJames 2:12 True Christian liberty is not a license to do what I want to do!
