What exactly is meant by liberation in Christ? It is that state of being where we are masters of ourselves resulting in mastery of everything that confronts us in life. The art of self-mastery has to be learnt from Jesus Christ himself who has conquered the world. Conquering the world is achieved in and through conquering the base self in us. The base self embodied in the feeling of self-importance emodied in the expressions of 'Ego' through anger, aggression, lust, jealousy, greed etc. leads us astray from our real self as images of God. If we are not liberated from our base self, our real self will never be able to shine forth. Jesus said that the truth will set you free and here is a fundamental truth about our own self as capable of infinite possibilities, if only we are willing to develop our true self. It is a challenge to start searching for our true self as the first step to liberation in Christ by recognizing the villain, that is our false self.
