Galatians 5:13-14

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

The liberty we have in Christ cannot be used as an excuse to do whatever we want to do but rather as an open door to do the things the Holy Spirit directs us to do, even if it goes against family, church, or country traditions.

God Bless You!
