Perfect Law of Freedom

What is the perfect law of freedom, it is love, nothing more, or less, it is the summation of God's love for us. But did you know as a Christian's that if we could love like God we would be perfect and without sin?

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Perfection by laws is another matter altogether, it is a legal judgment for our every words, thought, and action that we make, which is measured against a rule/law of conduct. Thus, judging us good or evil. However, the perfect law of freedom actually works just the opposite from backwards to forward, and what does this mean?

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

When we love someone, we impute good too them, we overlook their imperfection and desire because we have affection for them to enjoy their company. We want what is best for them, we find great delight in seeing them happy, and even outshining us, their joy is a gift too us from our love. In other words, for all practical purposes we can say they are “perfect” too us because of our own love for them.

1Cor.13:4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, 13:5 doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 13:6 doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 13:7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 13:8 Love never fails.

Perfect Love Puts Fear Outside

Perfect love puts fear outside, simple enough statement, but it has little or no real meaning too us imperfect human under sin being judges by our every action and reaction in this life.

John 3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Perfect love is God's love towards us, our love is seldom perfect, but why? Because we judge by sins laws, judging by sin is not judging by love. Sin says: “if you do this or that, I will love you, and if you continued doing this and that over a period of years, I will trust you.”

Rom.13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Really, this love by laws just defined is love by works of law, it is not perfect love given freely too us, it is an earned love, that gains us a reward. In other words, it is a meritorious love of sinners. It is used to make a child obey, a mate, or a friend walk the line proving they are a faithful person. In fact, without meritorious love our human society would have no way too correct and protect itself from all manner of abuses.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

John 6:28 They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" 6:29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

Ephesians 2:9 not of works, that no one would boast.

Meritorious love its not God's perfect love, nor his perfect law of freedom. We are not god's that is a lie told by Satan, and has been passed on to each one of us by Adam sins. We are not perfect in love, but we can bank on God's love towards us, as perfect in every-way. God's love is not meritorious love, as most good Christian's believe and teaches imputing human love into God's perfect love.

Romans 3:24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

Romans 8:32 He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

Perfect Love Sinless

Does meritorious love make a person sinless, no! No it does not, but perfect, love puts that fear outside of being perfect enough by works of obedience for God to love us.

1 John 4:8 He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

Here is the misnomer that most Christian's believe: “If I work hard enough in proving my love for God, by obedience to a bible commandment, God will love me, and reward me with eternal life.”

Even though, these same Christian's will say that love fulfills the law! But it holds no real meaning too them in real terms in their lives as Christian's.

1 John 4:17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

Subsequently, they unwittingly believe they can earn their way into God's love by being less sinful in obeying God's commandments.

1 John 4:19 We love Him, because he first loved us.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Love too them is meritorious love, when not meet by works of law they need to repent and try again hopefully getting it better the next time, and by the end of their lives if they have enough obeying over not disobeying God will reward them with eternal life. But this whole paradigm is backwards to God's perfect love.

Heb. 6:1 Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection--not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God, 6:2 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
6:3 This will we do, if God permits.

Profound Statements About Perfect Love

Rom. 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Christ Jesus was perfect, without sin, which means, he needed no laws convicting him of not measuring up to God's love. Now lets say that one more time. There was no commandments given to Jesus Christ, because he needed none as a sinless person. In other words, their was no commandment of God written in our bibles for sinful people that would convict Christ as a sinful person.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Thus, Christ was perfect in love, if he was a sinner he would not be perfect in love, why? Because laws for sin judging us as a sinner do not exist in perfect love. Hence, love fulfills the law, by perfect love, so there is no laws convicting or judging us a sinner in perfect love.

John 5:24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

1 John 4:17 In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

Getting this paradigm backwards is darkness, and not the light of perfect love. Hence, it saying instead that perfect love comes when I first can obey God's laws perfectly, when I can obey first God's laws perfectly than I will no longer a sinner. Such is false, Christ never had any commandments to obey upon him first, because he was sinless, God need not create laws commanding Christ to do anything. In other words, God did not distrust his own son, he blessed him with trust, because his son loved him perfectly. Not that Christ must first obey proving his love for His Father. Perfect love means you obey not needing laws making you obey.

3 John 1:11 Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.

John 8:42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

John 14:24 He who doesn't love me doesn't keep my words. The word which you hear isn't mine, but the Father's who sent me.

We cannot earn perfect love, Christ did not earn God's perfect love, it was given him freely, because that is perfect love, if it were not given freely it would not be perfect love, it rather becomes a works of law, gained by meeting commandments to have God's love, hence, which is meritorious love taken and given to gain love back.

Now understanding this removes the dross of human love from God's own perfect love, placing squarely into God's hands, as our King. God did not create a spiritual world by laws of our flesh, or by works of laws because of mankind was evil through sin. God created a world of sinless spirit son's being found in perfect love, having no sin. In other words, you cannot separate the two into laws, without polluting the other. If you are a sinless person than you are perfect in love, and if your perfect in love there are no laws of sin judging you as evil in motive, and/or action, that is, the sin of fleshly judgments by laws created to judges those sins, hence, love fulfills those laws, killing their power!

There is no laws created for sinless people there just is perfect love, in freedom from evil, or darkness of evil in judging each other sinful when freed in Christ from such judgments of sin.

John 15:9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

Rom. 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

God's Creation of Mankind

The question is did God created mankind from evil reasoning as some impute too God, no! And what does this mean? It means Perfect love does not promote evil thoughts, works of law promoting evil thoughts by judging us as having bad motives naturally because of our sins. God did not created sinful people, He created people in perfect love, having no sin, or evil motives toward anyone, or anything. Adam and Eve were not suspicious of God, as legal minded people are suspicious of everything and everyone.

Jame.3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

God did not create Adam with a law book commanding him to obey him, hence, proving his love. God give his love freely and perfectly to Adam as he did too his own Son Christ Jesus. Evil motive was impute by Satan the Devil too Adam's wife Eve, she than had sinned, not being in perfect love any longer.

James.1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Subsequently, Adam sinned as will in implying God would take his wife from him, because of her disobedience to God. None of which is found in perfect love. From this event started evil thinking, implying evil first, what does this mean? Implying evil first is saying:

“I created this law, because human have evil in them, and I must protect my interest or they will abuse them or take by rights, as a human being”.

This is the fear we all live under because of sin, and the laws of distrust, it is this fear which cast outside God's perfect love replacing it with meritorious love. Hence, this is way darkness filled Adam and Eves hearts, and our earth, and the light of perfect love could no longer be known, for sinful mind imputing sin to each other, and bad motives to God.

We as human could only repay evil for evil, what does this mean?

Romans 7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

Romans 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

Romans 12:21 Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil.

The Law of Sin Imputes Evil

Darkness can be a fearful place where our eyes and ears creates thoughts seen, and heard in all manner of wicked reasoning. We become very suspicious in darkness, we trust nothing in the dark, and we take nothing for granted in our steps.

1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,

James 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

Adam and Eve, past on darkness too us instead of perfect love. Thus, we cannot judge God correctly, or even each other in real terms of everlasting life. We return evil for evil, because we judge by laws of darkness, law created from suspicion and fear of hurt.

Matthew 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.

Instead of returning God's perfect love which we were created in we return laws judging sin that only causes us greater pain and sorrow for the ones we love. Meritorious love is evil, if first implies the person will do evil and by obeying a rule/law we can safely give the person a measure of our love. Thus, when Christ told us not to return evil for evil this is exactly what in meant. If God was imputing good to us by perfect love, should we not at least not judge other with a different standard, where the very laws we uses imply they are evil?

Luke 6:37 Don't judge, and you won't be judged. Don't condemn, and you won't be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

Here than is why the world we live in is darkness, and cannot produce fruits of everlasting life. The very thought pattern of our fleshly thinking produces death and not life. We plant evil thoughts of our fleshly minds, judgments and get back fruits of death.

Romans 2:1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

This standards is accepted in all that is created by mankind mind of darkness. Subsequently, where referring and teachings God's love, it uses the same standards, imputing God is both good and evil at the same time. Thus, when Christ states that a good tree cannot produce evil fruit, which evil fruit are laws created to judge sinners its not understood in any meaningful context by Christian's. They instead apply it too their world of good works being done by their religion, which justifies the evil judgment of their religion.

Romans 14:10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

But simply put, God's mind found in Christ Jesus does not judge us by laws of sin, God judges with only perfect love, which produce only good fruit. A good tree cannot produce evil/bad fruit it impossible to have life.

Matt.7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! 7:12 Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Two Worlds Two Laws

Matt.7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Often times we hear Christian's say: “I forgive him/her but I cannot forget.” Such is a admission of imperfect human love, but its not God's love at all. When we retain the sins of others, we do so by judgment, but what judgment? Judgment of perfect love, or judgment by laws convicting evil of sin in us?

Matthew 18:35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."

Matthew 18:21 Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"

Do not forget, this partial forgiveness is not the perfect law of love, which of course means, we ourselves need God's perfect love, not holding us accountable for not loving our neighbor.

Here than is the point, we are not god's we cannot rule our own lives by our lesser inferior love? Looking to an composite religious corporate organization to displace our lack of perfect love, does not justify our sins with God. We cannot created an idol to take our blame in not showing love. We cannot detach ourselves from love through a corporate veil of immunity. Nor can we justify ourselves by defending such a imaginary idol.

By making all things beautiful through words creating a idol of a sinless religion by lying about the truth or our own conduct, or our religions, will not displace our guilt or give us God's perfect love, which cast fear outside.

Matt.18:23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
18:24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.{Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day's wages for agricultural labor.}
18:25 But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
18:26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'
18:27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii,{100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent.} and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
18:29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'
18:30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
18:31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
18:32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
18:33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
18:34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
18:35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."

A Sinless People of Light

None of us can deliver ourselves from darkness, many mislead Christian's believe studying their bibles or hidden truth's of old books gives them the light, but it is the same old darkness found in sin. One must be perfect in love to be sinless, and have the light. Light does not come from written words, it lead us to the light, but it is not the light. A religion is not the light, it may or may not helps us go to the light.

John 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 1:9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

John 9:5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

If one wants the light they must be given the oil from the light to created light from his world a world of perfect love where God's light exist in the name of Christ Jesus. We cannot through suspicion of laws created for sinner, produce the light of life, we cannot impute evil too God by works of law and receive the promises of God by faith.

John 11:10 But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light isn't in him."

John 12:46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

We must always understand as a fundamental teaching of Truth and light our light is a gift based upon the living imperishable life of Christ Jesus. Light is not found upon dead works written in ink or upon stone, life, is perfect love, so it cannot be confined to any form of death. We ourselves cannot mix our own death of sinful flesh into Christ imperishable life, hoping to reform it into a better personality, no!

1 Peter 1:24 For, "All flesh is like grass, and all of man's glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls.

We must be given the personality of the body of Christ, his personality that we are being translated into by God's love. Yes, God's perfect incorruptible love sealed into our hearts bearing witness of the truth, not a truth of this world coming from corruption, but the everlasting truth coming down from above from God's own wisdom, in Christ Jesus.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 3:18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

For us to have this light we must be accounted as sinless, perfect in God's love, in this manner we pass-over from death into life, because we love our brothers having the same perfect love of Christ in their hearts.

James 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. 4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death.

Now we must be humble, not confused by pride of our fleshly mind, we must accept a free gift of God's own kindness, from his perfect love giving us life, we cannot obtain it in any other way found in heaven or upon earth. Christ must become our life, not our life becomes Christ life, for we dead to our fleshly life if we walk in the perfect light.

Although, dead in our flesh, that is, its judgment removed by Christ life, desires of our flesh still run ramped in are tent, our flesh abode until we put it off to be with Christ. We can choose as many do in false religion to lie about fleshly desires, or we can confess them to Christ, knowing it was never our personal goodness placing us in Christ, but God's perfect love.

1 John 5:11 The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

1 John 5:12 He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn't have God's Son doesn't have the life.

Here we cannot go back to self-righteousness, as many do, in order to prove they are in Christ by judging and condemning with laws of darkness, and death created for sinners. We have a choice, we can act in faith in God's promises too us which is his perfect love will never leave us in any trials of our flesh, thus, allowing the righteous life of Christ to sanctifying us, by his life, or return to laws punishing sin in us!

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

This is our contest which perfect our faith, which means, we our perfected in love, as Christ is perfect in love. It is our walking in the love of Christ, not love of law, or religion that covers a multitude of sins, because the love of Christ requires us having faith, despite our own good for nothing man screaming out in self-justification by a good work we have done for God/YHWH.

Let us put off the works of darkness and accept with all humility the life of Christ Jesus. Let us get it right, from a new mind created by God without sin, let us wrestle against the darkness of evil which evil returns evil by laws claiming one can be made clean by their own good efforts.

Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God.

James 2:12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
