Godly Liberty We Have In Christ

 Christian liberty is not a dangerous doctrine as the legalists and law-mongers would have us believe. Legalism seeks to change the old sin nature from the outside and forces it to obey God's perfect, unachievable Law in our own strength - but it fails every time.
 The surrendered believer who is walking in spirit and truth, is yielded to the guidance of the Holy Spirit Who works through our new life in Christ, and over time we discover an inner discipline at work. The spiritual Christian discovers the righteous requirements of God's law being fulfilled in and through him.
 How wonderful to discover this godly liberty we have in Christ Who has set us free from the yoke of bondage by means of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is working in us, day by day, transforming our new life in Christ into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. "May we stand fast in this liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the legalistic yoke of bondage."
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have been set free by Christ and are no longer under bondage to the Law. Thank You that through the Holy Spirit's work within, we are enabled to live our lives for others and not for selfish inclinations. Continue to work in us and through us so that we may live  lives that are pleasing to You and glorifying to Your holy name, and keep us from falling back under bondage to legalistic practices, knowing that we have been set free by grace through faith in Christ's finished work on Calvary. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
