“For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another.”
Galatians 5:13 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/gal.5.13.RV1895
Today’s verse reminds us that we are free. We no longer have the debt of sin weighing over us. The price has been paid in full and we give thanks and praise for that.
However, what are e we doing with our freedom? WE can choose anything we want. We can satisfy any desire we want.
We can choose the path offered by the world. Surely, it offers pleasure and every thing we want. But this park is the harder path. Once you satisfies yourself, you’ll want more. Just like money, alcohol, and other vices. The want never ends.
We can choose what seems like the harder path. The path that separates ourself for service to God. But, in the long run, this is the easiest and wisest path. This park may be straight and narrow, but it’ll bring you less worry, pain, hatred, trouble. It’ll bring you satisfaction and happiness forever.
The early believers, only a few generations from Christ Himself, taught the early disciples about the two ways. The broad way that leads to destruction and the narrow way that leads to life - even after the salvation experience!
Believers in Christ have been set free from sin! We are no longer bound to the law of sin and the broad way that leads to death, but the law of the spirit and the way that leads to eternal life. Freedom in Christ is being obedient slaves of righteousness. THIS is the narrow way that leads to life that few find. It is the duty of all God-fearers to seek the narrow path of righteousness and walk in it, since we have been given the free gift of God, that is eternal life through Christ our Lord. HE IS THE WAY OF LIFE! We should walk as He walked!
