Galatians 5:5-6 (GNT Bible):
“As for us, our hope is that God will put us right with him; and this is what we wait for by the power of God's Spirit working through our faith. For when we are in union with Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor the lack of it makes any difference at all; what matters is faith that works through love.”
Praise God Church Family of Faith,
Today we share and tap in the message of freedom. The importance of liberty cannot be overstated. When you have a great deal of power, you also have a great deal of responsibility. Many children leave their parents' homes and are tempted by evil once they are no longer watched over by their parents.
The same is true for humanity and God: God bestowed upon us the ability to choose. We gain power as a result of our freedom of choice. What are we going to do with this newly granted freedom of choice from God?
I tell you, child of God, if you do not walk in the freedom of choice that comes from the Spirit of God, you will be easily tempted by evil and your freedom will be lost.
In the Bible (Galatians 5:13), Apostle Paul teaches you to walk by the Spirit of God. Paul warns that as much as you were called to freedom where you are allowed to make your choice, never let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature of worldliness and selfishness.
Rather, this power that comes with the freedom given to you should be used in the best way God expects you to use your freedom of choice, which is through love by serving and seeking the best for others.
This is emphasized further in Galatians 5:14, where Paul clarifies that the Law concerning our human relationships is in Christ by one precept, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” This means that you are supposed to have an unselfish concern for others and do things that are not for your benefit but rather for the happiness of others.
Why are you obligated to act in this manner as a Christian, in faith and love for one another?
As a Christian, you are compelled to act in faith and love for one another to be free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and to be placed in right standing with God.
This can never be accomplished through the Law and must instead be accomplished through Faith. This only implies that to be the Christians, you claim to be, you must refuse to fall from grace and retain the favor of God's merited favor and blessing.
To accomplish this, Galatians 5:5-6 teaches that you must refuse to rely on the law and instead, through the strength and power of the Holy Spirit, and only by Faith, confidently hold on to the hope of righteousness for the completion of your salvation. This is done to justify our Christianity because as Christians, since we now believe we are in Jesus Christ, nothing else should matter to us except faith activated, expressed, and working together through love.
As a result (Galatians 5:25-26), as long as you claim to live by the power of the Holy Spirit, you must also walk by the Holy Spirit with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage. On doing so you allow your conduct to be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and you will not be conceited, challenged, or find yourself provoking or even envying anyone.
I believe you have been Church Built and Healed with the proper direction for your freedom of choice through Faith rather than the Law.
I am apostle for Church Building and Healing, Be church built and healed.
GET IN TOUCH NOW, Let us pray for you, and you will be healed by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ's tremendous healing grace.
