To preserve civic liberty in a diverse culture, Christians need a clear concept of what that means.

The First Principle of Liberty is the right to enjoy the consequences of living virtuously, without government restraint.

The Second Principle of Liberty is the right to suffer the consequences of living otherwise, without government coercion …

So long as it does not violate the right of others to pursue the First Principle.

Even God, with His covenantal blessings and curses in Scripture, affirms these principles.
