For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 

Galatians 5:13 (NKJV)

Freedom doesn’t mean “freedom” only for yourself, but others as well.

The same goes for truth.  It’s not only for ourselves, but to share with others as well.

In Galatians, it’s telling you in a concise and precise manner, “don’t use it as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love to serve one another.” 

As Jesus did during His ministry on earth. He served others by His love. He was selfless in all He did. We’re to shine His light from within to all we come into contact with, so that we may be an example to all we encounter.

We are to use freedom, we have in Christ, to serve others and treat others with dignity and respect, and revere God and follow Him in all that we do. When we live in God’s freedom, our life expands in prosperity in heart, body mind and soul. When we live selfishly we forfeit our “citizenship” as Christians and it’ll eventually have a domino effect. We won’t be able to continue in growth and our fruit will perish, and eventually die off.

God’s gift is eternal life. It’s delivered by Jesus.  He is the Life and He is the freedom.

Let freedom ring. A believer is free, when they live in God’s will. It’s as natural as a Robin to live in a nest, and a duck to swim in water.

A believer in Christ is free and lives in freedom.

Abide in His Word, and you shall know the truth and the truth “shall set you free.”

Freedom in Christ.

How are you using His gift of freedom?

Shine His light from within and “let freedom ring.”

“Father God, thank You for the gift of Your love and mercy, thank You for the freedom we have through Christ,  and thank You for the gift of His truth and life forever more, in Jesus name, Amen.”
