We all try to excercise freedom, to test whether God really does love us unconditionally. It may take you awhile to realize that true freedom means not living without rules, but living without regrets. Our culture tends to read this verse in Galatians and assume " you" is singular. But the phrase " use your freedom to serve one another" points out " you" is plural. ( a better rendering would be Y'all). Paul assumes his words will read in community.
Galatians 5:13 It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows.
When we abuse freedom,it is destroyed. And the community is destroyed along with it. When we serve one another, freedom flourishes and community flourishes.
For it is WITH God all things are possible.
Father God, guide me today to do all things that will bring glory and honor to Yôu Amen
Have a VERY BLESSED Tuesday ALL! God LOVES you! And so do I!,
True Freedom
