What is the freedom for which Christ has freed believers?

Galates 5:1 (NEG79)

1 C'est pour la liberté que Christ nous a affranchis. Demeurez donc fermes, et ne vous laissez pas mettre de nouveau sous le joug de la servitude.

Christ has freed believers to obey God’s moral law in response to his grace (Galatians 5:13–15) and not as the cause of it. Freedom from the law is first and foremost freedom from obedience to the law as a means for justification.1 Christ has also brought the civil and ceremonial aspects of the old covenant law to an end (Galatians 3:23–25) so that the believer is no longer obligated to keep them.2
