Psalm 25:14-15 The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

This relationship we have with our Lord is everything.

The Lord has made a new covenant with us that sets us free from those nets of lies.

Proverbs 12:13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble.

Proverbs 12:22-24 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. A prudent man conceals knowledge, but the heart of fools proclaims folly. The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor.

Hebrews 12:1 let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us (parsed)

The net of lies are all around us and the weight of those nets are anchored by sin.

We can only avoid those nets if we maintain this covenant relationship with the Lord who saves.

Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

The first sign that a net of lies has been cast over us is a loss of peace.

Seeing the lies in the light of the truth dissolves those nets.

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

Freedom:

The law of Moses pointed out the cases in which the servants of the Hebrews were to receive their freedom (Exd 21:2-4,7,8; Lev 25:39-42,47-55; Deu 15:12-18). Under the Roman law the “freeman” (ingenuus) was one born free; the “freedman” (libertinus) was a manumitted slave, and had not equal rights with the freeman (Act 22:28; Act 16:37-39; 21:39; 22:25; 25:11,12).

free·dom

noun

• the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Obviously there is a vast difference between biblical and worldly definitions.

In the world we have the right to act and speak as we want. That implies that the law cannot stop you from murder or conspiring to murder. However if you are caught, tried and found guilty, you can be punished for breaking the law. At least that is how most legal systems should work. There is an inherent delusion that others don’t have the right to judge sinners.

The bible definition is applicable to a defined class of individuals. Under Hebrew law a poor person could sell himself into servitude with limits. The Roman application defined a Roman born citizen to be a free person. In their view only Romans had rights.

In the biblical view we discover the power of God is the only way to break the power of sin that makes no distinction in class citizenship and everyone is subject to judgment.

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
Hebrews 2:14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,

If one does not believe in God then they do not believe in the devil and without the law sin doesn’t exist and they will not see the chains that hold them captive. It is a sin attitude.

Isaiah 22:13 and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
