Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬, 16-17, 25 (NLT‬/NIV)

FROM TODAY'S READING...

“There are two freedoms—the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought.”

Charles Kingsley (1819-1875)

Anglican clergyman 


Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬, 16-17, 25 (NLT‬/NIV) For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love...So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions...Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
