Liberty in Christ

"Christ came into the world to set men free, and to plant in their souls the genuine principle of liberty
liberty actuated by love, 
liberty too honorable to allow itself to be used as an occasion to the flesh or for a cloak of maliciousness, 
liberty led by a conscience enlightened by the Spirit of God, 
liberty in which man may be free from all men, yet made so gentle by love that he would willingly become the servant of all, in order to bring them to the enjoyment of this same liberty
This is freedom indeed. 
This is the freedom which Christ gave to man; for: 
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. In giving to men this freedom, such an infinite gift could have no other result than that which Christ intended; namely, to bind them."
