Galatians 5:13-15
Freedom in Christ
13 For you have been called to live in freedom — not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love.
14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
15 But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another. (NLT)
When we withhold love from others we are purposefully hurting them and this is not what God commands us to do. We are commanded to love one another because Christ loved us and died for us. You have been called to live in freedom with Jesus. You are not to live to satisfy yourself or your sinful nature. The whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” As Matthew 22:37-40 says, "Jesus replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments. Therefore keep these commandments and your life will be blessed." (NLT)
