The New Freedom

Freedom from condemnation in the new covenant of God takes a lot to understand it but it all comes down to this (some will disagree of course): being prepared to not just learn the commands of Christ but obey them when you realise the truth that He died on that cross for you. If that truth produces in your heart righteousness involving obedience to His commands then there are wonderful promises of God given to disciples of Christ by Christ to be fulfilled in those who don't just learn the truth about His commands but obey them too. See - no curse. There is nothing added that curses you if you don't do what Jesus commands. The new covenant is without the kind of curses Jews had in the old covenant that meant they had to keep obeying it like slaves (many Jews and Gentiles are still allowing itvto dominate them today). The only condemnation is what exists outside the new covenant. The new way frees you from condemning clauses that enslave and do not make the slave righteous or a child of God.
