For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” [Galatians 5.13-14]
This is worth a separate post today... I know I have been accused of going too far with the grace thing... But here is the crux of it all: Serving one another in love is a much clearer picture of God than the law could ever be. Serving one another in love is so broad-reaching that all the law is fulfilled in it. Serving one another in love is the heart and will of God.
Yes, I remain adamantly opposed to the law and legalistic living and thinking. However, I am constrained to live by a higher standard: serving one another in love.
Father, I know if I will get this right as Your Spirit dwells in me!
