The liberation and love that frees us from fear

This morning in my morning devotions I read this wonderful little
passage:

"The source of all freedom is the freedom of Jesus Christ. By our
association with him we are invited into the kingdom of liberation
and love. We pledge our faith, "green as a leaf." We receive the
spirit that disentangles us from sin, from the narrow perspectives of
the law, and from the fetters of fear. We join all of creation in
struggling to reject what is evil, submitting to the greater law of
love, and in sharing in the glorious freedom of those who belong to
God."
