Yes, Christ has made believers free from the bondage of sin, the law, and Satan.
Les Feldick teaches that through His blood, Christ paid the price to redeem us from the slave market of sin and set us free. This freedom is not a license to live as we please, but a God-given liberty to exercise our free will as believers, no longer entangled with the yoke of the law or spiritual darkness.
Galatians 5:1 — This verse directly commands believers to stand fast in the liberty Christ has given and not be entangled with the yoke of bondage.
The Bible states that Christ has set believers free from bondage. Galatians 5:1 says, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." This liberty is contrasted with subjection to the Law of Moses, as seen in Galatians 2:4-5, where Paul refused to give in to those who sought to bring believers into bondage. The believer's freedom is a result of Christ's redemptive work, which secures our liberty.
Les Feldick explains that Christ's blood paid the full price of redemption, buying believers out of the slave market of sin and setting them free (Clip 2). This freedom breaks the chains of Satan, the flesh, and the world, which previously bound the lost person (Clips 3, 6). Les emphasizes that this liberty is not license—believers are not free to do as they please—but rather a freedom to exercise their will as children of God (Clips 1, 4, 7). He uses the analogy of a Roman master who bought slaves out of the slave market and then gave them their freedom (Clips 2, 5). Furthermore, Les warns against being entangled again with the yoke of legalism, urging believers to stand fast in their liberty (Clip 4).
Les Feldick clarifies that the bondage refers primarily to subjection to the Law of Moses and legalism. In Galatians 2, the Judaizers wanted to bring Paul and his converts under the yoke of circumcision, dietary laws, and other Mosaic regulations. Les explains that Paul refused to give in even for an hour, asserting that believers are not under that subjection (Clip 0). Additionally, Les teaches that before salvation, every person is in the bondage of sin, Satan, and the world (Clips 3, 6).
No. Les Feldick repeatedly emphasizes that Christian freedom is not license to sin. He says, "That doesn't mean that we are free to do as we please, not at all" (Clip 4). Elsewhere, he states, "We are not given the freedom to live as we please simply because God has saved us by His grace" (Clip 7). Instead, genuine freedom is a God-given liberty that leads believers to desire to do what is right, not what license would permit (Clip 1).
Les Feldick teaches that the blood of Christ paid the price of redemption. He states, "The blood of Christ has paid the price of redemption. He paid it in full. And he has not only brought us out of the slave market but he has set us free" (Clip 2). This is illustrated by the analogy of a rich Roman buying a slave out of the market and then granting him freedom (Clips 2, 5). Salvation breaks the bonds of iniquity and sets us free from satanic power (Clip 6).
Refusal to Yield to Legalism
Les demonstrates Paul's firm refusal to subject believers to the Law of Moses, showing that freedom in Christ was not to be surrendered.
Worldly vs. True Freedom
Les contrasts the world's false sense of freedom with the believer's true liberty, emphasizing that our freedom is not license.
Bought Out of the Slave Market
Les explains that Christ's blood purchased our redemption and set us free from the slave market of sin.
Freedom for the Believer
Les teaches that at salvation, God breaks the binding forces of the devil, flesh, and world, granting the believer true free will.
Stand Fast in Liberty
Les urges believers to stand fast in the liberty Christ has given and avoid any form of legalism, quoting Galatians 5:1.
Roman Master Analogy
Les uses the analogy of a Roman master granting freedom to illustrate that Christ has paid the full price for our liberty.
Salvation Breaks Bonds
Les explains that salvation breaks the chains of Satan and the bond of iniquity, setting the believer truly free.
Freedom Not License
Les emphasizes that true freedom is found when we become believers, but that freedom is not to be misused as a license to sin.
Galatians 5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
This is the key verse that defines Christian freedom and warns against returning to legalism.
Galatians 2:4-5: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Paul defends the liberty of believers against those who wanted to impose the Law of Moses.
No. Les Feldick clearly teaches that while believers are free from the bondage of the law and sin, this freedom is not a license to do as we please. He says, "That doesn't mean that we are free to do as we please, not at all" (Clip 4). Instead, our freedom is God-given, and we are motivated not to want to do things that license would permit (Clip 1).
According to Les Feldick, Christ has set believers free from the bondage of sin, Satan, and the world (Clips 3, 6). He has also freed us from the yoke of the Law of Moses and legalism, as seen in his discussion of Galatians 2 (Clip 0).
Les Feldick teaches that Christ made us free through His blood, which paid the redemption price to buy us out of the slave market of sin (Clip 2). This act of redemption set us free, just as a Roman master would buy a slave and then grant him freedom (Clips 2, 5).
