Perfect Law of Liberty

Question:
I need to get a deeper answer for a Biblical question. (1) "What is law of liberty?" we have seen many verses of Jesus to abide in His teaching, if we fail we will not be of God and Christ (2John 9-10). If we follow He and God our Father will dwell in us (John_14:23). If we will not love Christ Jesus i.e. not obey His words, we will be cursed (ICorinthians_16:22). Some said "law of liberty" means we may follow it or not that is our will and wish. So, I request you to give brief answer for my question.


Answer:
The perfect law for man was not the Patriarchal law (first given to Adam and Eve) nor was it the law of Moses (Exodus 20) but of Christ. (Hebrews_7 & 8 and Colossians_2:14) The law of Christ supercedes all previous laws (Matthew_17:5). “This is My beloved Son, hear Him” This is the perfect law (James_1:25).

These are the laws given by Jesus and His apostles. They are written down for us to read and learn, in the New Testament.

We trust we have answered your questions in a way that is understandable. May I suggest that you continue to study your bible and attend services regularly.
