Walking in freedom means that you are no longer bound. Christians can be bound by many things like traditions, fear, drugs, sex, worry, stealing, etc. Anything that is holding you down is a device of the devil to keep you bound and prevent you from "walking in freedom". Accepting Christ and allowing Him to work in your life gives you freedom. You are free from worry, free from addiction, free from sin, free from the cares of the world because you have given all of these dead weights to God.

Never heard the phrase before but here's what popped into my mind when I read it.
I am free from the eternal consequences of my sins. I still sin and here on earth I will have to deal with the fallout from those sins, but Jesus took my punishment from God for those sins so now I don't have to.
I am free from the burden of trying to earn my salvation - Jesus did it all for me.
I am free from the loneliness of having to go through life without God's presence and help.
And now that I am Gods child, I am free from following societal expectations and philosophies. God has given me a better way to live! I'm free in the truest sense of the word. And I have something that nobody can take away from me.

Walking in freedom comes by walk of being born again. A man is no longer held under the physical law, but now abides by the spiritual law that is written in the fleshly tablets of his heart through Christ his Lord, the Word.

Freedom from sin, death, religion, condemnation and guilt.
Just as the man in the graveyard had his chains and fetters thrown to the ground, and was set free, so have I been from the chains of death.
I have freedom to go through the veil to the inner court. I have freedom to talk to God, without a priest, for the sacrifice has been made and accepted.
be blessed in your walk in freedom.

Knowing that we no longer "have" to sin...we have a choice, because we know the difference. We can choose to avoid or resist temptation. We are also free from the judgement of others, whether they be Christians or not; if we know our hearts are right with God and our actions aren't contrary to the Word, other people's opinions are niether here nor there. We are free indeed.

It means freedom to be who we were created to be. It's not freedom to live like a libertine (one who flouts all rules). Without God changing our hearts, we only have the option to be wretched and sinful. Nothing good can come out of us and our 'good' works are as filthy rags before the Lord (literally the word means menstrual rags, if that gives you a better picture). We are only truly happy and joyful when we function in the way that God meant us to function --- free of fear, totally ourselves, totally obedient, and totally worshipful. THAT is freedom! :D

I'd say it means free from sin and free from the Law which draws out the sin in me. Now I'm free to walk with God, free to live from Christ who's in me and is my guide now; free to boldly and confidently approach the throne of Grace; free to enter the Holy of Holiness through the veil of Christ's body; free to experience the love of Christ; free to love others; free to be the holy and whole person He's wanted me to be.
Praise God!!

Walking in freedom from the rules, regulations, and "traditions" of others, and walking in freedom from the bondage of sin.

Walking free from sin and hell! I am saved by the wonderful grace of God, through Jesus Christ-- when he died and rose again, he took my sins upon Himself, to set me free-- no longer in bondage of sin and hell-- I have been forgiven and set free, because of Him. And now I receive the fullness of JOY, in His salvation...in knowing my Lord and Savior and Him teaching me more of His truth as His Holy Spirit teaches me, through His word.
To God belongs all the glory!
(This means those who are saved in Jesus Christ are no longer a slave to sin)
To believers: Romans 6:18
You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
