Cast off the yoke of slavery because we are no longer slaves. We are free according to the promise God made on the day man fell to slavery. Stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of performance because we are not set apart to have cleaner hands; we are set apart for the Good News of God which He promised beforehand concerning His Son, Jesus Christ – that by Him who was faithful, we have faith, by Him who was obedient, we are obedient and by Him who was righteous, we have become the righteousness of God.
