The Freedom Christ gives us is a total freedom. There is no reason to ensnare yourself in another kind of slavery.
Galatians 5:13-14 – Amplified Bible
Please read Galatians 5:13-14
13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the [e]sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through [f]love serve and seek the best for one another. 14 For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].”
Footnotes
[e] Galatians 5:13 -the [e]sinful nature- Lit flesh.
[f] Galatians 5:13 -but through [f]love serve and seek the best for one another- The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for another.
Walk by faith. Then you won’t gratify the sinful nature. And you will do what it’s called you to, love one another.
