SteemChurch: What does it mean to "have freedom" in Christ?

Luke 4:18:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he has anointed me to give good news to the poor;
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted;
To proclaim freedom to the captives,
And sight to the blind;
To release the oppressed

One of the signs of being a true Christian, besides believing in the true gospel, is to experience, only in Christ, freedom.

We understand that we do not have to keep the law to please God. We understand that God's favor on us does not depend on our obedience or on keeping the law. God's favor upon us is due to what Jesus did on the cross. Therefore, WE ARE FREE!

We are free to drink coffee, tea, watch a movie, laugh, drink and enjoy life. We are free to do it ... But without sinning

However, our freedom means that we should not make anyone stumble. We should not abuse our freedom. We should not be careless with that. On the contrary, we are free to live and not worry about how our behavior affects God's attitude towards us, because His attitude is one of love and acceptance, which is guaranteed by the sacrifice of Jesus. But this does not mean that He will not discipline us if we deviate and do what is not to His liking.
