Freedom To Love And Serve One Another

Some use the incredible freedom we have in Christ to indulge in worldly ways and carnal activities. They exploit our spiritual privileges and pervert the Word of God by proclaiming that we are free to indulge in whatsoever ungodly acts and fleshly inclinations take our fancy. This is outrageous and such a misappropriation of God's Word and is unacceptable, unscriptural, and should be challenged and changed.
We have spiritual armor to protect ourselves from the ravages of the flesh and we have been given God's grace to stand fast in this evil day and resist the devil and all his worldly temptations. We are to live as Christ lived... in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives... and we are to love and serve one another in the same way that Christ loved us and gave Himself for us.
"For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this important reminder that both legalism and a license to sin is unacceptable in the life of a child of God. Thank You for the freedoms we have in Christ, and help us to live in holiness and righteousness to Your praise and glory, serving others through Christ's love, which only comes as we continue to abide in Him and He in us. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
