Free to Obey

May 14, 2023    Steve Dozeman

The modern world defines freedom as the removal of all restraints; but is far from a Biblical definition and only results in being enslaved and chained to the flesh. Yet, this new identity found in Christ frees us to live the Spirit and obey the truth that God has given. The freedom Paul encourages the Galatians toward is not just freedom from something - whether pagan hedonism or Jewish law - it's freedom for something. This freedom is for a purpose - to live in relationship with God according to His best-life advice.
