FREEDOM DAY 5

Published: Nov. 6, 2020, 12:26 p.m.

b'It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don\\u2019t 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\\u2019s how freedom grows. For everything we know about God\\u2019s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That\\u2019s an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out\\u2014in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God\\u2019s Spirit. Then you won\\u2019t feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don\\u2019t you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?\\nGalatians 5:13\\u202d-\\u202c18 MSG\\n\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support'
