THE ADVENT TRUTH
So many today believe that rejecting God’s law makes them free. But the truth is the exact opposite. When you cast aside the Ten Commandments, you don’t enter freedom—you enter a spiritual prison. Jesus said, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” (John 8:34). Think about that: when you choose lawlessness, you are not escaping rules—you’re locking yourself inside the cell of bondage. Sin becomes the warden, guilt becomes the chains, and hopelessness becomes the bars that keep you trapped.
The psalmist declared, “I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts” (Psalm 119:45). True freedom comes not from breaking God’s law, but from walking in it. When you reject the Ten Commandments, you also reject the very mirror that shows you sin (Romans 7:7). Without that mirror, you can’t see the dirt on your soul, and so you remain in darkness, bound by sins you don’t even recognize. That is why James calls God’s law the “perfect law of liberty” (James 1:25). Liberty isn’t the absence of law—it’s the power to walk free from sin.
Proverbs 29:18 warns: “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”
Rejecting the commandments doesn’t make you enlightened—it makes you blind. It doesn’t make you strong—it makes you weak. It doesn’t set you free—it chains you to addictions, broken relationships, confusion, and ultimately death. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), and sin is defined as transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). You can’t escape that reality: to cast aside the law is to embrace death.
But here’s the good news: Jesus came to “proclaim liberty to the captives” (Luke 4:18). He doesn’t set us free from obedience, but free unto obedience. He breaks the bars of sin so that we can finally walk in His law, not in fear, but in love. That is real freedom. That is real life.
