True Freedom (Gal 4-6)

"But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law."

"Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." Sometimes a lot of us abused our freedom such as freedom of speech. We used that freedom to tear down certain people in our lives by gossiping, backstabbing, slandering, etc. We forgot that if we are led by the Spirit, we have that freedom to build someone up not to tear someone down! We used this kind of freedom in America in a wrong way! In the same way, God gave us the freedom to grow in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But it is up to us to use those fruits to share! If we do not share our fruits in our lives, then we may wither like a fig tree when a fig tree doesn't produce any fruits to share.

"But they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." A lot of us tried to change someone into a "goody-goody person" so that we may rejoice in how that person changes. But is that person really transformed inside-out? We got to be cautious in how we tried to change those people by our own flesh! We aren't led by the Spirit when we tried to change a person on our own, but to share the love with someone. We are here to share His testimony of love and allow Him to give His grace upon that person, so that he/she may be transformed! Transformation doesn't take one or two days, but takes years. We want our newly friends to walk under the grace rather than under the laws don't we? Then stop telling our friends what he/she can do or cannot do under His grace! Let them search His heart and find His grace and change through His grace not through our flesh.
