Free To Live

I wrote this across many days and tears last month.
I might live,
I might not.
No way to predict,
Only it will be way sooner than i expected ...

Galatians 5:1-6

We are free to live,
In the Kingdom of God,
Only if we remember to:

Stand Free
We are intended for FREEDOM,
Not slavery to the Law of Moses.
Freedom does not lead to lawlessness.
Your are NOT a slave,
Yet you are a voluntary slave!
His yoke (teaching) gives rest to our soul.
Teaching brings life!

Trust Grace
Faith vs Rule Keeping
Frees us - Rules bind us

Faith is to live as if something is so.
To fall from grace is to fall into legalism.
We want a checklist - God wants more than the list from us
Life by grace is to depend on God for all things.

Life Without Lack
Only God can offer us hope.
Think of Psalm 23.
Follow close to the shepherd.
Trust God, it is your choice, and He will not force to!

It is our hope - we are assured of the Holy Spirit.
                      - we bget to live with Him in His righteousness.

We must respond to His Word/Message.

Consider reading the whole of John's Gospel and his Letters as well ........
