Perfect law of liberty
The Word of God is the perfect law of liberty!
I rejoice. For when I see something to do in the Bible, when I see the way to go concerning the issue of this present life, I know God has given me liberty from destruction of this world.
The Word of God is not a bondage to me but liberty from sin.
James 1 ...16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, WITH WHOM is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of HIS own will begat HE us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of HIS creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

When I read the Bible, I'm always looking for that which I need to do.
When I see something to do, I am so happy, knowing I've just found a precious jewel to put on. When I add this instruction to my life, making it a part of my life by doing it over and over, I see such victory in this present life.
It is never bondage to me. It is victory! ... overcoming the world through the Word of God!
