A Bible commentary notes that this statement was quite contrary to what the Jews believed, who referred to their laws as bringing forth liberty, stating “that he that studies the law hath freedom from everything”, whereas, the commentary points out, “such law gives freedom from nothing, but leads into and brings on persons a spirit of bondage. It holds men guilty, curses and condemns for non-obedience; so that such as are under it, and of the works of it, are always under a spirit of bondage; they obey not from love, but fear.”
Not unlike the world thought today, that places a high value on the acquiring of human knowledge, the study of the human body, psychology, the physical sciences—all of which are supposed to bring greater freedom, but only lead to greater bondage! Thank God for Christian Science, the promised Comforter, which reveals to man his spiritual identity and an understanding of the divine law of Love, which is the only path to true freedom.
