Galatians 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
What does it mean to be truly free in Christ? How about:
Respecting and living by what the Bible teaches out of a grateful heart, not to earn God's favor.
Living by the Holy Spirit instead of a list of rules.
Not expecting every other Christian to feel the same way you do about non-essentials.
Not misunderstanding what it means to be "separate from the world."
Not having to live by a checklist of Christian activities but instead letting Christ life out His purpose and personality* through you.
Having a worldview that leads you to live in a way where life is not about you, not about your happiness, not about you being accepted--and often receiving those blessings anyway.
How about you? What does it mean to you to be free in Christ?
