We have a covenant, even better than the promise that we usually talk about between us, human. God guaranteed our freedom though Christ. It is not just a mere promise of ours, but a covenant.
in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior; (Titus 1:2)
God promised a new covenant, the fifth covenant, in which He would enable His people to keep His laws and His commandments by writing them upon their hearts and in their minds (Jer. 31:31–34). This covenant was established by the Lord Jesus Christ and is the one to which Christians commit themselves (Heb. 8:7–13). Because God has bound Himself to His people swearing by His own nature and integrity, there is no need to fear that any of the good promises He has ever made to His people will fail.

The true freedom comes from understanding this covenant.
