the differnces

 The "yoke of slavery" refers to being bound to the necessity to never fail. Because to fail is to bring condemnation and judgement. So we could say that Christ has set us free to fail. By His absolute substitution, He has actually taken our place under the wrath of God, and we have been given His place under the blessing of God. By absolute, I mean that there is no mixture of His performance and ours; no 60/40, 70/30, or even 99/1 split in responsibilities. 


In the final analysis, then, this means that we can fail and still enjoy freedom from the condemnation that holiness would typically demand of sin. That's not to say we should take a cavalier attitude toward our failure, but it is to say that we have to have this freedom before we can stand fast in the freedom of Christ.

Thus, being set free to fail by the redemption that is in Christ means that I cannot compromise His promise of eternal life by my failure. Thus, I am free. So, though I am free to fail, if I really believe that, I fail less, not more.

another way of seeing

 

All you have to do is live for Him and you'll find yourself reproached, rejected, called evil: "Men shall hate you, and . . . shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake" (Luke 6:22).

 

 

"Whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it" (Matthew 16:25).

In other words: "The only way you'll find meaning in life is by selling out your all for Me. Then you'll find true joy, peace and satisfaction."  True sir only in that  tension did I see real peace…
