Freedom from Religious Rules

Religious rules and outward practices do nothing for our salvation. The basis of our freedom is the victory we have in Jesus at the Cross. Paul denies aestheticism where people sought goodness through their behaviour. We have freedom in Christ because of what He has done, not what we do. We are dead to all those religious practices of old because of Christ. We are already sanctified through Jesus, have been transferred to God's kingdom and are governed by Him. Is Jesus supreme in your life? Are you trusting in Jesus alone and drawing on His spiritual power?
