THE FREEDOM IN CHRIST ACCORDING TO SAINT PAUL THE APOSTLE
THE FREEDOM IN CHRIST ACCORDING TO SAINT PAUL THE APOSTLE

Summary/Abstract: This study briefly presents the Apostle Paul’s concept of freedom in Christ, which is not identical with the modern understanding, which focuses primarily on its political and social dimension. Without underestimating it, a great importance is given to its spiritual dimension, which is experienced by the Christian as the avoidance of enslavement to sin and passions, and as love for God and neighbor. Thus, the experience of freedom in Christ is not limited to the avoidance of sin but is expanded and given a positive content through the practice of love. With love as its content,freedom in Christ, according to the Apostle Paul, is not an individual matter, but is realized in the Church, where man receives the grace of the Holy Spirit and participates in the Body of Christ.
