       Our next verse is, “So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty” (ESV). First and foremost, notice that we are to be judged under the Law of Liberty. James doesn’t say, “You will be judged under all the commandments.” Or, “You will be judged under the Laws of Right and Wrong, of Do’s and Don’ts.” The Word of God described as the Law of Liberty shows us that God wants us to live in freedom. Living in sin, or living in continual guilt, isn’t freedom. That’s enslavement. Isn’t true freedom, though, being able to choose to do whatever we want to do, whether God sees that as sin or not? Well, yes, of course. That was the original freedom he gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. That is the freedom we have as a new creations. God calls that which enslaves ‘sin.’ So, really, what we could do for better understanding is just do a “Replace All” in our Bibles of the word sin, and make it the word “Enslavements.”
