Galations 3.2-7, 11

The grace of God in Jesus Christ is a free unconditional gift; it is especially liberating to those who regard the law as a burden which they cannot carry and feel oppressed by violating it. This of course does not mean that in Christ one can be licentious; he should live in the spirit of good works; cf. Galations 5.19-23, p. 331; James 2.14-26, p. 712.
