Freedom to God - slave to sinful nature? Galatians 5:13

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Galatians 5:13 "For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love."

Paul distinguished between freedom to sin and freedom to serve. Freedom or license to sin is no freedom at all. It enslaves you to satan, others, or your own sinful nature.

Christians, by contrast, should not be slaves to sin, because we are free to do right and to glorify God through loving service to others. Let our living for God produce the products Paul tells us about in Galatians 5:22,23. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control. Let these be the virtues by which we live. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
