For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ.
For with freedom did Christ set us free."
This we take to refer to his former adherence to, and belief in, the system
of worship taught by the Jews, as a necessary and probably the only "way of
salvation" acceptable to God. He wishes his hearers to understand that he
is not bound by adherence to any creed; neither the old one, nor yet the
new one, but that what he preached came from the light of cosmic
consciousness, in which there is no law, nor sense of law. Cosmic
consciousness gives to the illumined one a sense of freedom (Christ means
cosmic consciousness, and not a personality).
Cosmic consciousness confers, above all else, perhaps, a sense of freedom
from every form of bondage.
The duty and the obligations that bind the average person, are impossible
to the cosmically conscious one. Not that he displays indifference toward
the welfare and the rights of others. Far from that, he feels an added
sense of responsibility for the irresponsible; an overwhelming compassion
for the unfortunate, and a relationship greater than ever to mankind.
