Usage

In the New Testament, "eleutheria" primarily denotes the state of being free, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. It is often used to describe the freedom that believers have in Christ, which liberates them from the bondage of sin and the constraints of the Mosaic Law. This freedom is not a license for immorality but a call to live righteously and serve one another in love.
