Freedom from Human Judgment
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse is a declaration of freedom. Because Christ's work is complete, no person has the right to judge a believer's spiritual standing based on their observance of Old Testament dietary rules or religious festivals. Your salvation is in Christ alone, not in adherence to these external regulations.
