Freedom

Galations 5
CHRISTIAN LIBERTY
"1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
LOVE FULFILLS THE LAW
7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. "

Today I'm feeling really thankful.... because of all the soldiers who have left the comforts of their homes to fight wars for us and for our freedom. I'm so grateful to be in the USA for so many reasons.
But I'm also thankful for those who went before us to fight for spiritual freedom.
Galations 5 is one of my favorite chapters. Why? Because of this:

God loved us so much that He gave up His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.
That love fulfills the law....we are spiritually free...we are not in bondage.
We walk in the Spirit...we are not in chains of legalism or held down be religious spirits.
We are free to walk in love and walk in the Spirit! Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!!!!
